But in this case, we still need to deploy a server... If we can use RAs in such 
environments, even a stateless DHCP server is not necessary. Please correct me 
if I am wrong or miss anything.

Depends on how you see 'deploying a server'. Your router can easily perform the 
stateless DHCPv6 server function. Even tiny CPEs can do that these days, and 
Cisco has been doing that for ages.

Right. To me, this (a stateless DHCPv6 server function in the router device) is what this draft has to compete against. The authors would have to demonstrate a use case where this is not acceptable/feasible/sufficient.
