SLAAC works *very* well for the things it was made for: zero-conf
environments, with no dedicated DHCP server - as in "home networks" or
"office networks".
It's not meant to be used for connecting customer sites to an ISP
network, and it's not overly useful for numbering servers either - but
that doesn't make it "death deserving".
