All, RELOAD requires that a node have a public IP address in order to serve as a bootstrap peer. One issue with that is that there is no real way to know for sure that a particular address is globally routable. Second, there may be overlays where this is not necessary at all (e.g., overlays formed entirely in an enterprise network may not have any peers that are globally reachable). Third, a bootstrap peer is still useful even if it only helps a few peers get on the overlay.
Hence, I don't think the requirement for serving as a bootstrap peer is to have a globally routable address. Rather, it is to be reachable to at least some set of nodes wanting to join the overlay.
