We need to decide, if we want prefix assignment and distribution

I think the two should be in the same protocol, because routing and
addressing are tightly coupled. Fundamentally, there is no point in
configuring an address on a host if the homenet doesn't have
reachability to it - because you can't use that address to talk to
anyone else in the homenet.
If the routing protocol and the prefix distribution protocol are
separate, then they can end up with different ideas on what prefix is
on a given link. That will lead to blackholing.

I don't see how you're going to avoid tight coupling and still keep
things stable when/if provider links and internal links flap.
IMHO there's got to be some form of fate sharing to avoid every single
app having to implement a version of happy eyeballs.
