I'd guess they would, since the idea is so old and also underexploited. 
But does it bring in real extra value? I.e. does anybody know whether 
multipath routing could significantly increase the total utilization of 
the routing fabric, either now or under some theoretically founded 
future situation?

If nobody knows, a preliminary study could be IRTF material.
