I intentionally skipped this check because it could be easily checked
with netfilter (after decapsulation) and I am a bit afraid breaking
already working setups with non-standard prefixes. Do you think I should
add this check anyway?

I'll use try_6rd to extract the ipv4 address and check it against the
outer address. I will check this later if I have access to my test setup.

Also left these checks out because of the same reasons I stated above. Should
they be added?

Thanks for the review!
