And we still need to assign at least one /32 to every mobile device.

IPV6 and give a /64 to each device. That's fine, however you're still with a routing table of upto 2^64 entries. Currently BGP routing table is upto 2^24 entries, but it's really less than 1 million entries.

BGP is not the answer to multi path devices for many many reasons. Tackling it at higher levels (OSI 4-8) is the solution.
