I do have a ULA network I chose for myself. But when I'm not at home I would like to be able to reach things I self host (e.g. my Navidrome server), and I need routable IPs for that. My /60 from Comcast is stable but not guaranteed to be static, and it would be nice to have a truly static allocation so I won't run into the need to redo my DNS records if Comcast ever changes my prefix. I know I could script something to do that, but static is a bit nicer.

Ah, of course. They probably want you to pay extra for that. :)
An HE.net tunnel has advantages, but they’re also quite bandwidth–constrained. If you need anything more than ~1MB/s then you should build something yourself instead.

I have an ipv6 only wireguard connection from my phone to my house which is also comcast. Lets me hit my ULAs just fine.

For my network I wanted something I had some chance of remembering so I consulted a dictionary and ended up with fdbe:aded:cafe:babe::/64.
