PANs as internal routers?

We are planning to make our Palo Alto (pair) into the main internal router for a decent sized enterprise data center and about 300 users. A pair of Arista routers will be our external WAN/BGP routers.

 

Is using the PAN as a router considered a best practice? Is it an acceptable practice from a speed/performance perspective? We plan to hairpin a lot of the DC traffic into the PAN in order to segretate the various VLANs. Only iSCSI traffic will stay on the top-of-rack switches.

 

Thoughts?
