To your surprise, my opinion is partially based on my
experience about 10 years ago as a CTO of a commercial
ISP, which offered secure public WLAN service with IP
moblity.
Security and mobility stacks were implemented on BSD and
Windows.
We successfully performed smooth handover experiment at a
racing circuit with a car moving at 260km/h.

which is why I know delay caused by SLAAC is annoying.
Though no commercial IPv6 service was offered, we received
government funding and implemented end to end multihoming
with mobility over IPv6 without ND. Public trial was offered:
