According to who?

It could fit best practices if your datacenter has one tenant and they want to put the entire thing on a single subnet? In general I would expect a datacenter to get something like a /48 minimum. Even home connections are supposed to get more than /64 allocated.

And Linode's default setup only gives each server a single /128. That's not how it's supposed to work. But you can request /64 or /56.

If the OS uses SLAAC by default, then it will just work, but SLAAC is for humans and makes less sense for web servers (yet can make sense for vpn servers). For web servers /128 is more meaningful.
