Each site should get at least a /48.

Stop worrying about dense-packing the IP space in IPv6. This is IPv4-think. IPv6 is intended to be sparsely allocated.

What makes this complicated for us is that we are operating on a multiple sites (geographically) with each site is doing multi-homing and having a /48 in each site would be very big waste of IP resources.
