I *do* use rDNS for otherwise

making it requirement for email despite everything about the domain
and SMTP envelope being in order.  Again, that policy essentially
means IP reputation only - and only class C or bigger IP owners need
apply.

Not really.  To get delegation for something smaller than a class C on a
local physical connection, you need a competent ISP.  In geographic
areas with no competent ISP, you could rent space on a virtual machine
or do a colo.  This obviously makes it more expensive to operate a small
mail server and is undesirable for that reason.  However, I don't see
any other way to prove ownership of an IP that someone lists in forward
DNS that may be a throw-away domain.
