Presumably the idea is that if you go ipv6-only you can avoid this cost and just use a firewall?

In theory.. but what happens when you want to change ISPs or your ISP doesnt assign static ipv6 blocks? Its recomnended but ISPs have no incentive to give a shit about you. Now all internal infra is not routable.

An IPv6 allocation being static or dynamic has no bearing on its routability.

Don’t even need firewall. Aws has egress only ipv6 gateway.
