Don't you still have to use an actual phone number when you sign up for Twilio?
If you trust twilio security policy you can defer the weakness of Twitter policy in favor of the strength of twilio.
when I started liking "too many" tweets I got hit with it and my mobile carrier (canada btw) refused to deliver txt msgs from Twitter so I could never get verified.
