While I suppose the /64 your VPS provider gives you is "enormous"
compared to IPv4, I don't find such a comparison relevant since IPv6
and IPv4 are entirely different protocols. In fact I actually think it
is small. Why? RFC 6177 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6177)
recommends that /48 or at least /56 subnets be given to end sites, so
your _small_ /64 violates that recommendation. Hell, even my lowly
residential ISP, Xfinity/Comcast, gives me a /60. Unfortunately a great
many ISPs and VPS providers violate this. Not sure if it is due to
incompetence where they incorrectly think such allocations are
"wasteful" or what. IPv6 not only restores end-to-end communication the
way IPv4 initially started, but it is designed so that sites have many
_subnets_. This brings me to the next point.

You would like to rely on SLAAC for your VPN peers, but SLAAC will
likely not work on anything smaller than /64. Why? Because the first
64 bits of an IPv6 address is designated as the network identifier.
You already carved out some IPs from the /64 though which means you
have less than /64 to use for SLAAC inside the tunnel.

I used to use Vultr; but when they were unwilling to provide something
bigger than a /64 in addition to actually routing the entire block, I
left them. If you insist on using IPv6 without relying on NAT or NDP
proxying, then I recommend you find another provider. What you are
trying to do is trivial when IPv6 is done properly. I have a similar
setup myself except I use WireGuard, but I'm confident IKEv2/IPSec
would be easy to set up as well.
