Any reason I can not use same routable lan block ips on routers at
different sites as long as these blocks are only in ebgp?

Yes, you cannot have the same LAN block IPs unless you are NATing,
else your routers will have a problem. They will have a IGP
advertisement to the network locally, and then they will have a BGP
route to it at another site, and no matter which way they prefer,
traffic between sites with the same range will catastrophically fail.
If you want to do some kind of failover, you need to NAT the sites
private side to the public addresses, and ensure your redundant
providers are advertising your range to the internet, with one
obviously preferred over the other unless there is a failure. If you
are talking technically, technically you can do what you are asking,
and the different router ID will ensure that routes are exchanged, but
at layer 3, this design will fail.
