  | Not good, it violates RFC2373.

which is totally harmless.

  | You should use a /64 for point-to-point links.

That is an option.

  | It is typical to allocate a /48 for your ptp links.

If you have a /32 (or similar), that's nice (and I appreciate that was the
context of the question).   But most users will have just one /48, allocating
that to p2p links would be a bit drastic...

Personally, I use /112's for p2p links.   Works just fine.  Scales wonderfully.
