The real-world case for host routing (IMHO) is a server with a public interface, an administrative interface, and possibly a third path for data backups (maybe four if it's VMware/VMotion too). Unless the non-public interfaces are flat subnets, you need some statics (today). It can be a challenge to get SysAdmins in a co-operative mindset to route that correctly (and repetitively if you have a server farm).
What I've done in that case as a sysadmin was a default out the internet interface and some sort of ospf daemon to handle the rest. If I want a host to learn routing, I put a routing daemon on it. Otherwise I just use a default route. I don't see why this changes with IPv6.
