I'll buck the trend here and say "Yes, for a home LAN, it's absolutely worth it. In fact for a home LAN it is more important than in a data centre. It is absolutely the bees' knees for home and is worth doing."

All of that depends on how your ISP does things. When I did it, I got a /56, which is sensible and I think fairly common. If your ISP gives you anything smaller than a /64, (a) your ISP is run by doofuses, but (b) it's going to be a pain and might not be worth it. (I now live in literally one of the worst countries in the world for IPv6 adoption, so I can't do it any more)

The big benefit to it is that you can have your servers (if you want them to be) publicly reachable. This means you can use exactly the same address to reach them outside the network as you would inside the network. Just make one AAAA for them and you can get to it from anywhere in the world (except my country).

When I did it, I actually just set up 2 /64s, so a /63 would have been sufficient (but a /56 is nice). Maybe you can think of more creative ways of setting up your networks. Network configuration is a lot of fun (I think).

I had 1 /64 for statically-assigned publicly-reachable servers. Then I had a separate /64 for SLAAC (dynamic) end-user devices, which were not publicly reachable (firewalled to act essentially like a NAT). (Sidenote: if you do go to IPv6 for your home network, look into RFC7217 for privacy reasons. I think it's probably turned on by default for Windows, Android, iOS, etc., these days, but it's worth double-checking)
