I'm still working on trying to get my primary provider to BGP peer with
us, but in the meantime, I'd like to pro-actively publish our objects
and route policy to the IRR.
My primary provider is currently advertising our IPv4 routes for us from
their AS.
Are there any potential dangers of publishing our information before we
use it that I may be overlooking?

In case you are worried about folks who filter, recall that the IRR
uniqueeness is based upon the Prefix/length, originAS, and sourceDB
tuple. There is nothing wrong with registering the origin as it is
parallel to the origin-as-it-will be. If *you* do it, instead of
your provider, you will not have to co-ordinate with anyone to yank
the old one. Purposeful overlapping for the purposes of transition
is one of the features.
Cheers,
Joe
