Currently the people that reached out told us that their routers support static routing. It could be limited, e.g. 8 or 32 entry limit, but they support it. For reference, they are FritzBox, ZTE, TP-Link, etc. By splitting the space they can add a single entry, 44.128/10 to their radio or to their Raspberry Pi VPN server and keep the rest of the traffic to their ISP’s default gateway.
For me, the router's capabilities are actually irrelevant. Talking about my tunneled /24, I use static IPs for hosts that I want on this network, and these have a single static route (2 actually) to route 44net IPs to the Pi that runs as an IPIP mesh router, which makes the final decision as to where to send the packet.
Other hosts on the LAN don't know about these addresses or routing, and ill attempt to use the ISP (as appropriate), where only those ranges announced via BGP can be reached.
So for me, the static routing capabilities of the ISP router are irrelevant, I've designed my network to ensure that's the case.
