Fred,

First, we are violently agreeing that subnet redirect works only where
source addresses cannot be spoofed. The problem is that this is not the
typical case, so it's not a generic solution IMO.

On the general architecture point:

Its model for IPsec transport + IPIP tunnels is used in commercial routers.

It doesn't require new code anywhere, though - it has been compatible
with OS-X, FreeBSD, and Linux for nearly 20 years.

And its model is the basis of the tunnel draft.

We can continue to do things the hard way, needing new code and
mechanism, or the easy way that does not. I prefer the easy way.
