Do you know any fact of de-registration?

IPv6 is another story. We charge very small money for IPv6 network and customers usualy use IPv6 in right way.

Some startups have very low amount of money.

This might work for IPv4 - you will violate policies if you still
address end-users with these addresses and risk de-registration. But for
IPv6 this is a different story. Getting IPv6 PI space in a block that is
greater than /48 you need to provide documentation. And I doubt you can
"fake" documentiation that will give you the resources you need. If all
your competitors give customers a /48 you will want to do that as-well.
Or even with /56, there are only 256 of those in a /48. So if you want
to participate in the market you we'll need PA IPv6 and therefore need
to be a LIR anyway.

What is ~1300€ in your yearly budget compared to equipment,
transit/backhaul and operating costs? I would not think it is significant...
