I see two simple solutions for that. You mention one (ip6.arpa DNS
delegation), since, as you said, people who want to manage a mail
server probably can manage a DNS zone.

There is another one, apparently not mentioned by the draft but widely
used in the VPS / dedicated server world: give the users a Web
interface / API so they can add PTR themselves. After all, unlike what
the current draft seems to imply, there is zero need to give a PTR to
every thermostat or refrigerator in the house. You need PTR for a few
machines only, such as the mail server. This can be delegated to the
user.
