There are only so many ways to do loc/id split. And if you mix and match you can take the best from each proposal for this particular use-case. Assuming combining the parts doesn’t lead to a zero sum (or negative sum) game.

In a generic sense, it could be a layer-2 termination point, a first-hop router, or a transit router. When seen from 3GPP lens, there is only UPF and the N4 interface that you talk about. But, there is N3 (eNB to UPF) and then there are also other nodes where there is an impact.   The translation/tunneling/steering may very well happen on some router connected to the service cloud/core (on N6),  or at some exit router where there is no 3GPP UPF function and there is no N4.

Or, we can introduce a two types of IP forwarding nodes, one collocated with UPF and another without UPF. I know how this discussion will go in 3GPP; they will insist and say they we will never recognize any other node other what they created.

But I think that clashes with the clear data plane / control plane separation in nextgen. And: there may be data plane solutions which don't come with a control plane / mapping system. For these the N4 needs to disseminate complete forwarding states (an more, e.g. for chargeable event monitoring, device dormancy support etc.) to all relevant data plane nodes, means the ones that hold a state for the mobile.

But, we should note that there is interworking needed with the 3GPP authentication infrastructure, and the protocol specific control plane. Note that these protocols are not doing MN identity establishment. May be I could be wrong here on the assumptions you have around LISP MN capabilities, but to me MN is a standard 3GPP UE with no special capabilities such as MIPv6/LISP MN stack.
