To my understanding doing IPV6 TCP TSO is a non-trivial task, even in
software.

The header editing is a lot more complicated because things like
routing and other extension headers can sit between IPV6 and TCP
header.

It is probably why IPV6 TSO hardware does not exist yet :)

Do not take this to mean I think it should not be implemented, I think
it should.
