Consider a hypothetical router that has the regular automatic default
behavior of commissioning a new standalone network while discovering any
existing networks that it already possesses the credentials to join. Now
consider what happens when devices of this category are continually losing
and regaining their connectivity with the rest of the wireless network in
the home. Let's imagine this happens many times per hour. How many days
does it take before all your constrained-resource hosts have no space left
in their route tables for all the deprecated but still valid ULA prefixes?

I suggest it will not take very long at all. Any reasonably implemented
host will be dropping them before they expire anyway, but hosts will be
forced to use a crude heuristic to decide which prefix to expire first,
e.g. lowest valid lifetime then first-in first-out?  Routers are more
knowledgeable about which prefixes are the locally generated ones and which
ones are delegated.
