Completely eliminated - of course not. There will be the odd medical device, a couple labs, or "grandma" with old hardware.
However practically eliminated is possible, even likely. ISPs are moving that way, we are out of IPv4 addresses and all. Eventually penetration will be large enough that some smaller servers will decide that having an ipv4 presence isn't worth it. Probably because the ipv4 static address costs money and ipv6 is cheaper.
