I am running as many IPv6 only services as I can. All MY core services that I use daily are v6 only. At the end of 2024 i am still shocked to see how much new software does not work without ipv4. My most recent struggle was with Seq - the opentelemetry server for example. It is full of new software created in the recent few years that just refuses to work without ipv4. And not because it need to reach some server on the internet. It just does not work if you do not have ipv4 (even private).

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not GP, but I actually have to do more work to disable IPv6 on my systems than to use a dual stack.
As such, please explain what you mean by making "so much trouble for yourself."

  I'm referring to running in a weird v6-only configuration and fighting with software which expects a normal configuration with v4.

  To which software are you referring? I'm not familiar with such code.

for me, its not really trouble. MY ISP has IPv6 and I have trouble using it.
Also I have lot of small VPS and the cost of the IPv4 address is the highest cost of the price of VPS. removing it reduces the cost by a lot.

  How cheap VPSes are you getting? I've always just used v4 on my $5/month VPSes, never felt the need to think about v6 on them because v4 just works

  Less than $1 per month shared CPU and 1-2GB RAM for most of them. At that price I needs to pay annually.
  Take it to account that I am not from US and even $5 is kind of large amount per month to spend on hobby stuff.
