This might work for IPv4 - you will violate policies if you still
address end-users with these addresses and risk de-registration. But for
IPv6 this is a different story. Getting IPv6 PI space in a block that is
greater than /48 you need to provide documentation. And I doubt you can
"fake" documentiation that will give you the resources you need. If all
your competitors give customers a /48 you will want to do that as-well.
Or even with /56, there are only 256 of those in a /48. So if you want
to participate in the market you we'll need PA IPv6 and therefore need
to be a LIR anyway.

What is ~1300€ in your yearly budget compared to equipment,
transit/backhaul and operating costs? I would not think it is significant...
