I did some searching, found that there are currently about 500K aircraft of all types (general aviation, commercial, military, etc.).   Allocating a /10 seems excessive to me for this even with a lot of growth.

Using ULAs would be fine.   This might even be a good justification to use the other half of the ULA space as I suspect the ICAO could be an allocation authority.
