I don't know, I'd probably go with option B. The border leaf switches can handle the route reflector duties, right?

Option C seems like the way to go. Having a spine switch as the route reflector just makes sense in this topology.

It definitely helps with scalability and reduces the complexity of the configuration.

I agree, having a spine switch as the route reflector simplifies the design.
