https://isbgpsafeyet.com/ https://isbgpsafeyet.com/ is a bit misleading. They mention both IRR filtering and RPKI. Both of them are needed. RPKI currently only is used to validate the origin. When a peer only relies on RPKI, it is trivial to announce a route you are not authorized to announce: just append the legit ASN at the end of the AS path. That's what IRR filtering prevents.
Both are therefore useful. RPKI protects from mistake and mitigate a bit the ability to spoof a route (adding the legit ASN makes the AS path longer and less preferred).
