I do think that adding IdPs to eduGAIN has an more significant impact on
how we currently operate and it might be worth thinking more about why
you are exporting them and what it is you expect from doing that. I.e.
if GARR doesn't expect the UK federation to republish those IdP entities
in the UK, why is GARR putting them in eduGAIN?

GARR puts in eduGAIN entities that opted-in and expect to exchange metadata with other entities that opted-in as well.
We are ready for this.
Impossible to be ready to exchange metadata with unknown entities, i. e. the ones that not opted-in for eduGAIN.
