I would caution against use of ULA for this for a number of reasons, not
the least of which is the fact that ULA is allocated as Brian mentioned
prior. A dedicated block solves both the issue of potential overlap with
site specific use of ULA (which admittedly is probably unlikely), but also
creates a clear visual indicator as well as an easier programmatic
implementation by using something that should never occur elsewhere in the
network topology. Also, using non GUA blocks further complicates
inter-domain efforts which is not a show stopper, but is definitely notable
in that SR block allocation now needs to be coordinated further than
internally.

This is a legitimate use case, and with the lack of SRH4 filtering
capabilities in platforms I have looked at (admittedly not everything) this
is an operational concern, however, I suspect that will be addressed and
should be part of a best practices recommendation for anyone not attempting
to do inter-domain SRv6 provisioning regardless of SRv6 SID choices.  It
feels a little like the model of using RFC1918 space as a mechanism to
further "air-gap" the control plane - which I have totally done in the
past, so no judgement - just an observation. Not illegitimate, but
definitely needs a bit of forethought, which in many cases it does not get.
As an operator, my response would be "why not both?". A dedicated block of
*non-ULA* space for use when required / desired and perhaps a bit of
verbiage on operational considerations for filtering at network edges when
GUA is in play?  Similar concerns are covered in section 4.1 but stop short
of filtering the header.***



*** my experience with this is largely lab-focused and incomplete
having only tested a few platforms and software packages, so I fully admit
that I may be missing information or misunderstanding. IIRC, one platform
could filter RH0 and none did 4.
