I think you agree with me, here.

Then, you should be running some isolated network.

In this thread, we, except you, are discussing how to uniquely identify
customers, not hosts, without (much) logging.

The global address space of IPv4 with NAT is combination of IPv4
address and part of port number spaces, which should be enough to
identify customers and, maybe, hosts. and is much larger than
private space of rfc1918.

Perfect argument for OSI.
