For individuals. There are tons of benefits for everyone collectively, but as is often the case, there’s not enough incentive for any one person to bother until everybody else does.
I’d be open to considering those but I never had a website break it down in a material way. At best 6 to me is shiny and side grade – if it results in major labor and time spent without reasonable benefit within a LAN then it’s not going to be a humdinger. Of course like I said if there are arguments to be made I’m happy to contemplate them.
YMMV, for me the juice hasn’t been worth the squeeze yet and I’m not sure it ever will.
personally, i’d have pretty big benefits for my homelab if i could use my own ipv6 range for everything. having only a singe public IP is just very limiting.
sadly, my ISP does give out ipv6 for home networks, but i cannot connect to any of them from my mobile phone with the same carrier. so that’s fun. they talked about rolling out ipv6 on mobile networks years ago, but i guess it’ll take a few more…
YMMV. Time, energy, compat*ability problems, unforseen issues which cost time debugging.
Again, I’m speaking for me – there has to be a tangible real benefit and within networks even with 100 devices IPv4 does the job better than fine and better than IPv6 for some folks.
Not to mention its just plain easier to remember 4 octet sets of numbers running from machine to machine in an office than 6 or 8 or whatever.
Yup, the benefits don’t outweigh the costs.

what costs are there beyond just leaving it on in supported configurations?
