I have changed my mind.

Looking at the scalability figures for current LTE architecture, your whole network will melt down before you even get CLOSE to 4 billion bearers, and even if you scale it past that, you just get a /30 instead of /32 and you can now have 16 billion simultaneous bearers.

Let's stick with /64 for simplicity and for all the other reasons stated before. Let's focus on getting DHCPv6-PD etc working over this /64 instead, much rather put effort into that than trying to get smaller netblocks into the standard. It also simplifies filtering etc, the standard model today indicates that enduser /64 is a subnet with one or more devices within the same administrative entity, let's stick to that.
