With GUE encapsulation and GUE extensions, it would be a special tunnel
fragmentation yes. But, with RFC2473 encapsulation, it would be good old
IPv6 fragmentation per RFC8200.

This is a valid application of IPv6 fragmentation, hence in scope for this
discussion. The only difference is that the fragments will not be seen
by the network.
