Yes!
It is lots of work.
When 20 products considered , it is not realistic.
Reviewing 2000 patches is not a clever thing to do, I agree with you :), but it is the only way, if you want to be fully proactive in every manner.

What can be done and what is more realistic to do is, applying recommended patches and then giving the system to a full test.. During the tests in the TEST envrionment, the problems will appear in anyways, so you can build an additional recommended patch list by summing up the patches that you need to apply for fixing your environment specific problems.

At the end of the day, you apply the recommended patches + additional patches of yours in to your LIVE environment and feel proactive :)
