Agreed. It is relevant only in that there were comments on this thread that
roughly said "why not use DHCPv6 instead".

The 7934 recommendation that can't be met by networks that only use DHCPv6
address assignment is not "provide hosts with multiple addresses" - it's
"allow hosts to form new addresses without explicit requests to the
network". But I agree it's not useful to repeat that argument here.

I don't think you understood me. If you're saying that a unique prefix per
host can be assigned using DHCPv6 PD, then of course that's true. Given
that DHCPv6 PD is not widely supported by hosts, it's not a fit for the
goals of this document, which are to support as many hosts as possible. But
it would work.

RFC 7934 only recommends against a network that exclusively uses DHCPv6
*address* assignment. Using DHCPv6 PD to assign a /64 *prefix* to each host
is fine (and in fact, cited as an example).
