/64 is actually pretty useless since you can't automatically allocate anything smaller than that. If I want to give each host on my net a bunch of addresses (maybe /72) I have to do that manually - DHCPv6/RA/whatever will straight up refuse to allocate anything smaller.

You sure DHCP can’t do that? That surprises me given how many options it has. Maybe your server implementation just can’t.
