Your diagram says otherwise, as it shows the routers either without an
IP address, or with bogus subnetting (subnet 0 cannot be in two
places/links). Good luck with making the set-up work in any case.

Indeed, and what you seem to be trying very hard to say is that
building an IPv6 network where multiple IPv6 devices have *the same*
IPv6 address is ok and reasonable, and will somehow work unambiguously
with the encapsulated mode... Interesting... In general, this is known
as an IPv6 addressing violation/conflict, and there are specific
procedures to prevent that for good reason.
