Nothing wrong with using xxx.0 or xxx::0 in the context of a host route
(/32 or /128).
note that in times past (perhaps even now marked historical) there were platforms which got unhappy with network/broadcast addresses being used as host addresses...
At least some windows platforms balked at .0 or .255 host addresses (even if that address was 'off-net' from them).
maybe this is all history though :)
It is 2017... if you encounter such platforms you take them out back and “set them free”. :-) We can, and must, expect CIDR compliance these days. Kind regards, Job
