The reason no one recommends this is because it's a workaround with very negative performance issues. Instead of hitting the internet right after it leaves your network, the VPN goes who knows where first then goes to the internet. You could be adding up to 80ms of latency to all user traffic depending on where the VPN server is for the service your customers use. It will also negatively affect speedtests, gaming, voip, everything.
It's already hard enough keeping customers happy when they're on-network and now you want them to run all their traffic over VPN, just so they can have a public ip? Sounds like a ton more work and more issues when you as the ISP should be providing them a public IP as an option even if they have to pay extra. We charge $10 per month. Just do the right thing and go buy a /24 block for $4k and be done with it.
