Yes, these are match all policies that trigger creation of
point-to-point transport mode SAs for each connection.

You would need to patch ipsec-tools to support "*" wildcard shared
secrets. Though, this is highly deprecated by IPsec folks since it
allows anyone knowing the preshared secret to fake a hub. If you
control all nodes, then the major draw back is that you should redo
everything in case a participating router gets compromised. That's why
cert based authentication is highly recommendable.

One thread about the wildcard preshared key patch is at:
http://marc.info/?t=128146457300004&r=1&w=2

But I believe it has been discussed multiple times.

Yes, that should be sufficient. No extra directives needed for hub.

They are mostly ok. But as observed, you need to tune them to suit your
specific setup - e.g. remove the BGP integration part.
