Even very low-cost chipsets for CEs, such as Mediatek, Broadcom, Cavium/Marvell, etc., can offload IPv6 as well. Sometimes is not the hardware, but the firmware not taking advantage of it. For IPv6, unless you want pure dual-stack, not the right transition for what is needed now (IPv6-only with IPv4-as-a-Service), Mikrotik is the worst example, definitely.

It’s hard to find Cisco/Juniper Datacentre router manufactured in the last 5 years that wouldn’t have full support for IPv6. There’s absolutely zero reason not to deploy it yet!

If you would like to make IPv6-only network without transition mechanisms from scratch, it would be easier to make than IPv4-only. You wouldn't need CGN and also HA would be much easier (multiple routers on segment and so on). Technically the IPv6 should be faster, allows more freedom in network architecture and should require less logic in the network itself. It is mainly political problem, not technical. Do not mix politics to IPv6, please. It's still lot of technical problems with IPv6 - the main one is dealing IPv6 by software (processors) instead of hardware. The first-hand example: Mikrotik. Lot of HW offload functions are only for IPv4. Same is with some Cisco's, or other randomly pointed devices.
