If all routes in the routing table are good (which soBGP and S-BGP can
do for you) and routers filter based on the contents of the routing
table, hosts will not see any bogon packets except locally generated
ones so they shouldn't have bogon filters of their own. So this will
indeed solve the problem for these people.

I believe you are confusing authentication with authorisation.

Having authentic routes does not imply that all the traffic will be
'correct'. Various networks will always fail to filter customer traffic at
ingress etc. and then source address spoofing becomes trivial.
