RIPE Labs had an interesting article about filtering of /48 prefixes earlier this year that might be of some interest to you: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/ripe-atlas-a-case-study-of-ipv6-48-filtering

There's also a useful RIPE Labs article on general prefix filtering lengths from August last year: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/dbayer/visibility-of-prefix-lengths
