Yes it is possible.
Yes you will exclude some segment of customers today.

I think the phones stopped being "tightly controlled" with the
iPhone and Android phones. They expect generic IP connectivty, and
are very much not web and e-mail only. Moreso than an IPv6 only
provider, a web and e-mail only provider would probbaly find
themselves at a huge disadvantage to a significant and growing
segment of the market.
