Ben, I asked on an (CDN) IX list if anyone supported >1500 byte packets.
Even if you have the slimest possible pseudo-AH header, it will take at least
a dozen bytes for the authentication data, which means at least 1520 byte
packets or so.  None of them support >1500.

Now, private peering could certainly arrange 1600 byte packets, and I'll bet
that many IXs could be persuaded to up their port limits, but this is a
definite concern.

ip-tfs lets you slice/dice packets so that they all fit into 1500, and maybe
that would be a good option to consider.  Different flows could have
different treatments, all arranged by IKEv2.
