Not a suggestion, just trying to learn something here. Is there an
advantage to use a route reflector in the described setup, which appears to
involve only a small number of routers? I would think that full mesh would
solve the problem and at the same time be easier since you do not have to
maintain any route reflectors.

With peer-group it is not a real bother to configure a handful of iBGP
peers.

I and a bunch of others have always recommended starting with a route
reflector regardless of your network size. It makes growing much easier.
