We are factoring this into our "should we buy company iPhones for all employees?" conversation right now.

There are much better alternatives than buying a smartphone if all you want to provide is a 2FA device. Yubikey is one alternative, as a consumer you can buy it for ~50 EUR but I'm sure if you buy 100+ for employees, you can get some sort of deal with them.
Agreed. This is about much more than just 2FA. Compliance, conference calls, etc. are also on the table.

If we decide to go with a BYOD or other telephony option, then I'm going to push for standardized 2FA hardware devices.

They sold them for $5 for Ignite. I'm SURE you can get them very cheap if you're buying them in any sort of bulk at all.
You don't need iPhones though.
