There's 69,055 pure /24's allocated or assigned directly from an RIRs. At least
c,d,e, and g root servers only have /24s allocated to them. Major services like

If you filter out /23 or longer you cut the v4 table size about in half. I
have done this with some edge and eyeball network clients that had really

There are most definitely a number of organizations that have /24s that are not
part of a larger aggregate.
If you don’t have a default route to some router that takes the full table on
your behalf, then you will loose connectivity to/from those entities.

This is called "FIB aggregation." It exists and works but is no
You’ll need to be very selective about the IP ranges you apply that filter to,
or more likely, just do it and make sure have one or more default routes to
devices/providers that carry full tables.
As for alternate devices, have you looked at Arista 7280, particularly the

The OP can always take the provider's address space plus their

With multiple peers in your country this works out quite well.

Here is a reason you might want to keep that /24.
Suppose you are a small ISP and I am your customer.
I also have another larger provider.
That larger provider is also your provider.
I own a /21 and advertise it to my larger provider.
You get that /21 from my larger provider.
I advertise a /24 sub
