Blocking a whole network (/65) is totally undesirable and may even become illegal.

Currently it may not only happen at the target of the DDoS attack, but be spread all over the internet where block lists are enforced.

I don't expect that to happen and if it happens I'm surely in favor of protection against this type of 'solution' because it will block not only malicious clients but potentially many other legitimate clients.
