Cumulus/SDN as ISP Gear?

I'm currently evaluating using Cumulus or other SDN software on whitebox to use as parts of Layer 3 network components over traditional Cisco.

Going beyond four 10G ports gets expensive fast in Cisco land, and whitebox is a good alternative. I've been using Cumulus a bit, but it seems it and other SDN is more geared towards leaf/spine for datacenter and not doing carrier grade tasks of traditional rings.

Was curious of others thoughts and experiences, be it Cumulus or otherwise, of using these new kids in their traditional ISP network.
