Right the default route would work nicely with bgp free core and no IGP on the 
Intra-AS-RRs
But it won't work for Inter-AS-RRs
Because you don't wan the local AS IGP to be "polluted" with the remote ASNs 
PEs and Inter-AS-RRs loopbacks so you rather want to carry those in 
bgp-afi-ipv4 + labels
In this case you need the bgp-ipv4-afi to feed the FIB and LFIB on the 
Inter-AS-RRs
As you need the end to end LSPs in order to setup sessions between Inter-AS-RRs 
in different ASNs

Not necessary - the majority of troubleshooting cases will 
be for customers in the network. We run a BGP-free core, but 
the route reflectors have direct access to the edge, so IP 
forwarding would suffice.
