Hi Tom!

We are using FRRouting on Linux VMs as dedicated BGP route reflectors for AFs vpnv4, vpnv6 and evpn.
Having around 1000 RR clients connected with a handful of L3VPN and a few dozen EVPN instances.
We don't keep the full routing table on them, but that should cause no problem, just throw a bit more memory onto the VMs.
BGP works like a charm on FRRouting and is also pretty good on supporting recent BGP features.
We can absolutely recommend it.

As a sidenote: IGPs at FRRouting seem to get a bit less love, so don't be too sophisticated there...
