There are a number of virtual internet exchanges that BGP peer over VPN links when local presence is not available. Given the IP encapsulation overhead, and the fact that these routes still cross the public internet on the outside of the tunnel, is there a compelling benefit to BGP links over a VPN or GRE tunnel? I understand how it could be useful for educational and research purposes, so exclude that from your answers.
