Robert, what you are stating is not really dependent to IPv6.
Whenever you renumber, static route configuration will become invalid,
regardless from IPv4 or IPv6.
So, running a routing daemon is the right answer.

I agree with it.
If you are wondering about IPv6 ISP does: IIJ is exchanging route
with customer (/48), with filtering for inbonud routes.
