Hot take? Lukewarm at best. I have been running IPv6 in production for twenty years in this business, and I can tell you precisely what it has gotten me: support tickets. Back when we thought address exhaustion would kill IPv4, I spent six months dual-stacking everything. The result was a decade of "why does my traceroute look weird" and "this one legacy client cannot reach us." Kids these days think they are missing something; you are not. The headache is real, the benefit is theoretical for most use cases, and the troubleshooting surface doubles. Mark my words: in another decade, we will still be having this thread.
IPv4, IRC, and irssi — fight me
