From a complexity, reliability, and cost point of view, it is likely better
to say that everything should be /64 rather than say that 99.9% of links
will be /64 or /128 but we still need to support other prefix lengths for
0.1% of cases.

What he said.
Yes, what he said is a very compelling argument to use /64 in most places,
the default. However, you cannot extrapolate there exists no places were
something other than /64 make sense.
