I wouldn’t rely on the size of the address space to provide security. It’s possible to find hosts through methods other than brute force scanning. I remember seeing a talk from a conference (CCC? DEF CON? I can’t remember) where they were able to find hosts in government IPv6 address space (might have been DOD?) through stuff like certificate transparency logs and other DNS side channels.
Man, I need to go find that talk now…
Edit: I don’t think this is the one I saw previously but is in a similar vein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AayifEqLbhI
I had like a good month long period where I’d just randomly stop whatever I was doing and think to myself, “God DAMN Fall of the House of Usher was SO GOOD.”
