My personal pet peeve is the opposite - we'll try to use pMTU, some

1918 space - so the 'ICMP Frag Needed' gets tossed at our border
routers,
because we do both ingress and egress filtering.
That's not terribly hard to overcome - allow icmp unreachables (from any
source) in your acl, then deny all traffic from RFC 1918 addresses,
then the rest of the ACL.
Combined with CAR (or CatOS QoS rate limiting) on icmp's, you end up
with all the functionality, and almost none of the bogus traffic.
