Some will, some won’t. Most will.
Some machines’ TCP stacks can be crashed with a single packet. Some IoT devices can be added to botnets. Some get patched.
I think you are blaming too much on ipv6, much of which exists today in the ipv4 world.
You can always set up your router to be a stateful v6 firewall and block wan-to-lan accesses you don’t like or want, much the same way NAT works today, on an outbound-before-inbound model.
