It's a bit odd to reply to two folks talking about residential LANs with "Yeah, well, what about what ISPs do, eh?!".
Reading through the relevant RFCs leaves me pretty sure that SLAAC works for prefixes larger than /64... you just won't get split that into subnets that your router delegates to the LAN side of things.
- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoIt’s a bit odd to leave out the most exposed component of your residential lan when discussing its simplicity. Are you expecting never to touch the external interface of your residential lan? Then you are reading the “rfcs” wrong. What you really want to put in to your search engine is “does slacc do prefix delegation”.

- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoprefix delegation is more than just splitting a larger prefix into smaller prefixes Have a nice night!

- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoI would be embarrassed too if I was trying to act like slacc can hand out a 64 so I understand why you are defensive
