Using /64s can make you vulnerable to NDP exhaustion attacks: http://inconcepts.biz/~jsw/IPv6_NDP_Exhaustion.pdf

Thankfully, contrary to GP's claim, you can just use smaller subnets to mitigate on links where this might be a problem.

It answers the question posed by the parent comment. You asked how using a larger subnet hurts. I provided an example of how using a larger subnet might hurt. How is that irrelevant?
