Summary:
I received responses. Not a lot of enthusiasm. One went as far as sending
me some supporting documentation (thanks!)

I contacted Google via their stated method and got a communication
that said my email would not be read - after the page said press here
to "contact us". Not encouraging.
Nobody that has used this service for their ISP responded, so I think it's
fair to conclude that it's not getting a lot of interest. I did turn
the service on through an automated process for a domain I had turned
off some years ago. Seems reliable enough. I immediately received 100
spams.
What other outsourcing services are out there?
- willing to guarantee compliance with customers jurisdiction, and give first
jurisdiction non-US, meaning US has no subpoena or search right,
legally, without
invoking a treaty process
- willing to provide a black box, on-site, service to insure privacy
and local compliance?
