At work I can't see being able to drop ipv4 for at least 20 years due to applications and hardware which still relies on ipv4 (I've got some endpoints which don't even support igmpv2!)

I still haven't had a single failure for someone who can't reach an ipv4 endpoint.

As such I see it as just a toy.

I'm not suggesting dropping v4 connectivity altogether. I'm suggesting migration to a v6-only core by providing IPv4 as a service via 464XLAT, IPv6-Mostly, or only offering IPv4 to select network segments using SIIT-DC-2xlat: https://nicmx.github.io/Jool/en/intro-xlat.html#siit-dc-dual...
