And for those cases I would agree with you and the experts.

However it would have been possible to use 240/4 between CPE and a
6rd BR and CGN with CPE signaling that it can use 240/4 address it
is assigned one.  This could be done incrementally and would have
been better than the /10 that was eventually allocated for that
