Your premise is more accurate, you just need to replace IPX with 3GPP standard protocols (vendors dont make their own protocols - everything is standardized), and instead of radius/dns (which are used in telcos nonetheless), its more likley HLRs,CSCFs, MMEs, or PDN gateways that can bring an entire network to its knees, or a poorly implemented mobile backhaul solution

There are standards, but the standards are relatively proprietary (at least compared to the RFCs from the IETF) and the standards bodies that certify solutions as "compliant" are controlled by the vendors themselves. But your point stands. The last time I got a look at a major wireless data network (3G) I was floored by how damn complicated it was relative to how a similar solution would be implemented if you used "pure" IP technologies rather than the over-engineered versions them implement in order to constrain the number of competitive solutions they'll find in the marketplace. Its WiMax vs LTE.
