That seems quite reasonable -- you use NHRP to find the exit router,
but once the router is found you establish *routing protocol* peering
with this router to acquire (and possibly propagate) routing information.

The stripped down BGP or IDRP should allow you to acquire (and
maintain)  routing information only about a subset of routes
(the one you are interested in) available at the peer (the exit router).
