I use full-blown servers, but they're not at towers as I don't need full tables 
at towers. 

Sounds like you have a good plan laid out.

Ideally I'd want something like maxxwave makes, but with 10G. Some of 
the places we'd be putting these we need them to be 1 or 2 RU, rack 
mountable, and/or DC. Do you have a vendor you recommend? I have 
basically zero clue in the whitebox switch/router/appliance world. I'm 
guessing folks aren't sticking full blown rack-mountable Dell or HPE 
servers at their towers.

That's pretty much how I feel about mikrotik. I have only used it a few 
times, and when I have, I haven't enjoyed using it. I'm very 
comfortable with cisco, and somewhat comfortable with vyos/edgeos. 
Obviously my comfort level isn't the main concern if CHR is the right 
tool for the job, but it is a consideration. If I have to learn ROS 
from scratch, I need to factor that in. The ER infinity looks pretty 
much perfect for what we need, but while we've used edgerouters at our 
customer edge, we've never used them in the core of our network. Maybe 
the solution is to deploy one at the customer edge and have it take some 
iBGP feeds that it doesn't need and see how it does with them. If it 
sucks, it'll still be fine for the customer edge.
