Even if not all of them are active, having about three is quite nice for
reliability / quorum...

Multicast is IMHO the way to go. If you keep mcast on a private network,
security is not a concern. Otherwise, you should be using a VPN to secure your
data.
However, none of the IGPs offer a solution able to cope with this amount of
data exchange.
