[ipv6-wg] dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers

Unfortunately you have to do static prefix delegation because it's impossible to renumber the customer's inside LAN within a reasonable time interval with today's state of IPv6 SLAAC.

However, static delegations might cause IPv6 routing table explosion unless you're very careful (with dynamic IPv4 address allocation you could define address pool on BRAS and advertise just the pool prefix into the rest of the network).
