wouldn’t /64 still leave you with 64 bits for you to do whatever? Ipv6 has a 128 bit address. If you can do subnets with a small usable portion of 32 bits, then you certainly can with a full 64 bits
The smallest recommended IPv6 subnet is /64. The biggest issue you will encounter is that SLAAC will refuse to work on anything smaller, and it just so happens that Android still doesn’t support DHCPv6 and will be left without a valid address.
A good isp would give you something bigger than a /64 - /56 or /48. something that you can subnet.

til. Thanks
RFC 7934 explains their reasoning, though it’s not exactly an ironclad argument.
Good point - I should have said “at least a /64 range”.
