Completely agree with your dual-stack networks are more prone to errors and IPv6 networks are simpler than their IPv4 counterparts. Firewalls are easier to understand than port mapping NATs. Simpler is better for security.
I’ve tried running my home network with IPv6 only and NAT64 on my edge but more than a couple devices seem to only understand IPv4. I feel like these devices will be the ones that hold back the IPv6 only approach.

One of my two Roku Ultras finally is acquiring an IPv6 address, but no idea if it is doing any streaming with it. The other hasn’t acquired an IPv6 address yet. Even though the two have the same marketing name, they are different internal hardware models. But at least it is a sign that Roku Labs is at least aware that there is something called IPv6!
What are those devices? Poorly designed IoT stuff? I’ve some experience with the embedded / industrial world I remember working with Telit modems and manuals / documentation pushed people really hard into getting IPv6 working.

That’s great to hear! One of the IPv4 only devices I have is a Roku

They’re all IoT type devices (scale, Robo Vac, alarm) :/
Sad.
