Do you need BGP with a VxLAN WAN?

I presumed that VxLAN technology would supercede/replace the need for E-VPNs.

This led me to do some additional research on E-VPN vs VxLAN, and what I am finding, is that there are some benefits to using both together.

This link from Cisco, discusses this:

VXLAN Network with MP-BGP EVPN Control Plane Design Guide

This post lists some specific benefits to using MP-BGP for the Control Plane of a VxLAN tunneled overlay network:

1. The MP-BGP EVPN protocol is based on industry standards, allowing multivendor interoperability.
2.  It enables control-plane learning of end-host Layer-2 and Layer-3 reachability information, enabling organizations to build more robust and scalable VXLAN overlay networks.
3. It uses the decade-old MP-BGP VPN technology to support scalable multi-tenant VXLAN overlay networks.
4. The EVPN address family carries both Layer-2 and Layer-3 reachability information, thus providing integrated bridging and routing in VXLAN overlay networks.
5. It minimizes network flooding through protocol-based host MAC/IP route distribution and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) suppression on the local VTEPs.
6. It provides optimal forwarding for east-west and north-south traffic and supports workload mobility with the distributed anycast function.
7. It provides VTEP peer discovery and authentication, mitigating the risk of rogue VTEPs in the VXLAN overlay network.
8. It provides mechanisms for building active-active multihoming at Layer-2.
