I am determining technical requirements to IPv6 provisioning system
for DOCSIS networks and I am deciding if it is worth to restrict user
to use not less then /64 networks on cable interface. It is obvious
that no true economy of IP addresses can be achieved with increasing
prefix length above 64 bits.

I am not familiar with DOCSIS networks, but I thought I'd note that in
order to comply with the RIPE policies, you must assign at least a /64
or shorter to each end user:
