You have come right to the crux of the problem. The rules make it unnecessarily difficult to get IPv6 addresses which makes it hard for LIRs to get the addresses needed to run trials.
For trials, you don't need your own allocation. If you're serious about deployment, you can get an allocation. [..]
This means that the risk of doing the wrong thing is vastly smaller than it was with IPv4. We should plan to err on the side of simplicity and flexibilty, i.e. give everyone an IPv6 allocation if they already have an IP network. There is very little downside to doing this.
The members of all the RIR communities (*you*) have clearly voiced that they did not want this. *I* did propose, some years in the past, to just give a /32 to every LIR that asks for it...
