I pay yearly more for IPv4 address space for virtual machines on my dedicated server than for that dedicated server itself _(ツ)_/.
Let that thing die.
Monthly summary:
54.40€ - 30 IPv4 addresses
0.00€ - 18 quintillion IPv6 addresses
38.39€ - whole server for dozens of services
Someone is using Hetzner. :) Yes let IPv4 fade away. Still what services are you running that require so many unique IPs?
Yup, the benefits don't outweigh the costs.
what costs are there beyond just leaving it on in supported configurations?
YMMV. Time, energy, compat*ability problems, unforseen issues which cost time debugging.
Again, I'm speaking for me -- there has to be a tangible real benefit and within networks even with 100 devices IPv4 does the job better than fine and better than IPv6 for some folks.
Not to mention its just plain easier to remember 4 octet sets of numbers running from machine to machine in an office than 6 or 8 or whatever.
