Traceroute not working (without unnecessary delays) is a serious operational issue, IMHO.
I'm not quite as concerned about traceroute as you seem to be, but I do agree that other mechanisms that rely on ICMPv6 might suffer from a poor choice of rate limiting schemes. (Well, OK; traceroute is a useful tool too.)
I'll give some consideration to the token-bucket thing; my main concern is that min/max values for the rate-limiting parameters 'B' and 'N' are not currently specified. If reasonable values can be determined, perhaps I will revise my opinion about exclusion of the other schemes.
