Now the problem with such a setup is the many locations where you
actually are hardcoding the IP addresses/prefixes into: firewalls, DNS
etc. That is the hard part to solve, especially when these services are
managed by other parties.

      And probably the reason why most won't deploy RA and multiple prefixes.
      Hardcode and NAT, baby!

Well have the hosts update their own addresses in the DNS.  That's
one of the problems addressed.  There are at least two commercial
OSs which will do this for you.
