That’s been the normal way of doing it for some 35 years now. iBGP advertise, or don’t advertise, the service address, which is attached to the loopback, depending whether you’re ready to service traffic.
If we are talking about eBGP, then pulling routes makes sense. If we are talking about iBGP and controlled environment, you should never pull anycast routes, because eventually you will have failure mode, where the check mechanism itself is broken, and you'll pull all routes. If instead of pulling the routes, you make them inferior, you are covered for the failure mode of check itself being broken. -- ++ytti
