Currently, yes. Long-term, no. There are plenty of ISPs who do not filter 
on /24 IPv4 either, but a lot do.

I expect in a few years that most will filter on /32 for PA space and /48 
for PI space. The only reason it's not done today is that people haven't 
made it a priority because there are so few IPv6 routes.

So advising subnetting /32 further and announcing them in the DFZ might 
work short-term, but you do it at your own risk long-term.
