As one data point, it is a total non-issue for the technology we use.
We probably can't process an IPv6 routing table which carries as much
information as the IPv4 routing table today, but we are ready to
adopt.

(We're certainly not representative, but you've got to start
somewhere.)

Not really.  If LIRs could hand out independently routable /48 chunks
of their PA space, then those folks wouldn't need PI space at all.
