issues? (I'll just leave it at those three).
Multi-homing in IPv6 works just like it does in IPv4. Folks may
be working on better ways, but that's the reality of the moment,
and it's a deployable reality.
RA/DHCPv6 is being worked on, and progress is being made...although
slower than I would like.
But remember, IPv4 isn't done 30+ years on. The IETF has entertained
proposals to improve/extend IPv4 every year. NAT wasn't in the original
spec. MPLS was added much later, etc. If you expect IPv6 to have 100%
feature parity day one and then never change, you have unrealistic
expectations.
It's deployable today. Heck Comcast is deploying to end-users as we
speak. Maybe in a few scenarios it still has significant issues that
there are deployment problems, but you find those by doing, not by
waiting.
The networks I run have been dual stacked for 5+ years. It works.
