This simple workflow, a new internal network deployed on IPv6 only
Edge Firewalls -- source natting to allow access to IPv4 networks
Edge Firewalls -- destination natting to allow access from IPv4 to a service hosted on IPv6
Doesn't seem to widely adopted. It's all dual stack stuff, which means more work and more things to go wrong for no benefit.
Of course there's then the renumbering of your entire internal network every time you change ISP because you're using public IPs rather than private ones
