Since your traffic will go through heavily shared mobile IPs, probably with thousands of users behind them, anti-bot vendors won't/shouldn't block per IP, but per fingerprint/session cookie instead.

Currently planning on doing a layered approach. Cloud IPs first etc.

Interesting challenge but also trying to be somewhat respectful about it since nobody likes aggressive bots
