Yes

Remember this draft is simply a tool that is used to spread out already
identified flows over the ECMP set.

The processing into and out of a fat pw is outside it's scope.

Clearly you can enable s/n - apply the LB label - and put the flow back
together at the egress if that suits you application otherwise as you
say you have to have large enough end to end b/w.

Remember what it says in the PWE3 charter - if the best effort emulation
provided by PWE3 is not good enough, then either propose a better
emulation, or use a real wire.
