There are routes. Really. Maybe not everywhere, and maybe not all the
time... but the IPv4 private space is often routed.

*Right now*, there are routes for parts the private space being leaked
everywhere. A small trip to various LGs (route looking glasses) of
various IXPs (Internet exchange points) and large transit providers will
tell the same.
So, it really depends on how much debogonization your ISP and/or their
peers and upstreams are doing.
