Facts:

The reason why IPv6 has not taken off is because router manufactures and ISPs do NOT enable IPv6 by default when they ship their routers, which most end users do not know anything about IPv4 or IPv6 let alone how to turn it on in their router software. This keeps the revenue streams for ISPs as they can charge more for static IPs in the IPv4 systems. This is a shame because with IPv6, the end user can create as many external IPs as they wish.

If a server is completely converted to IPv6, the content they serve over IPv6 will not be seen by IPv4 systems, which is most all internet systems.

In summary, our internet is not expanding because of the centralized monopoly of ISPs protecting their money flows.

As far as web servers go, this can be solved with kubernetes/metallb/istio/certmanager. You can run as many services as you want behind a single load balancer.

Oh, I will have to look into this. At the same time, what a dance we have to do to make IPv4 work. IPv6 is so simple, once one understands it, no need for any load balancer or complicated software systems. Some simple settings in OpenWRT and boom as many IPv6's as you need for each server on your home network.

I agree, and then SSL certificates are your next problem. We need a better way to manage TLS and DNS without having to deal with authorities.

Right on!
