How best to deliver L2 in metro enviroment

I have a need to deliver L2 links within a city. i have fiber network and have ring of legacy juniper swictches running RSTP now.. deilvering L2 over this setup currently. issue i have with this is ..its not scalable. i have had few broad case storms. i am thinking for replacing the switches with Ex 4600 and do EVPN-VXLAN (this was suggestion from reddit and a friend of mine). since this a fresh deployment...i thought its best to ask here if the EVPN-VXLAN will server. my target clients are Big ISPs who dont have last mile and also enterprises who need DC interconnect. am i dreaming or VXLAN will enable me deliver this without storms issue. i cant carry on with rstp any more. i have lost few clients due to storm.
