The biggest tracking hurdle is to figure out if the ISP that handed out the block of addresses is handing out /64s, /56s, or /48s. The network provided to you is functionally the same as the IP address assigned to you with IPv4.

In theory I could rent an IPv4 /29 (of which 6 addresses are usable) for like 20 euros a month from my home ISP to cause the same confusion but I doubt it'd confuse trackers to use those.

I thought most ISP's give out at least /64's for free these days? Telia gives out a /56, although unfortunately there's no way to migrate them. This was a big deal for my homelab when I was moving, as I had to manually update all prefixes everywhere. A pain in the ass.
