In my opinion /64 is very likely not a one-node configuration. Potentially you can put every computer under the world into /64. I agree the functional/operational separation is easy with /64. Earlier in IPv4 you had to think about the subnet sizes: here you have /64 and you can put as many computer as you like in that subnet! Introduction of IPv6 support in your network allows rethinking the subnetting, and address allocation to accomodate better your current need.
