As far back as 2015 I tried to build an all-IPv6 network for a lab environment. It very nearly worked and the few remaining issues would have been quick fixes for vendors.

We’re closer than most people assume.

I'm not saying it can't work, I'm saying it's no one's first choice, even today. It's just extra risk, less usable (10.0.123.234 vs fd00:ec2::1234:5678), extra hassle (multiple IPs per NIC, extra hoops to access Github, etc).
