That would be a reasonable issue to discuss in the security considerations of draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host.

> For enough randomization in that case, I might like to have enough (say 48) additional bits for the node prefix, rendering 48+48=96; 48 is shorter than 64, but should be large enough for randomization for privacy.

That’s off piste for this draft. And a discussion already thrashed out in other threads, and also discussed in RFC7421.
