I need to have about /19 worth of customers natted to as few V4s as is needed to make it work properly.
We currently have about 3 /21s I think. Don’t want to have to buy a fourth.

You can get 8:1, 16:1 or even 32:1 out of a single public IPv4 address. Give 8 customers 8k ports each, or 16 customer 4k ports each, 32 customers 2k ports each. That's *source* ports, so they're not limited to 8k, 4k or 2k connections total. You have to look at in both directions. 10.10.10.10:1024 -> 8.8.8.8:53 and 10.10.10.10:1024 -> 8.8.4.4:53 mappings are both valid, and it obviously goes a lot deeper than that. Seems to be a whole lot easier than some crazy NAT appliance that's running the whole network. I haven't done anything like this, but I'm considering it. I think Juniper even lets you do this with a couple commands? Yeah, I'm too cheap for that. Something else to keep in mind is that most consumer grade routers still have a fairly limited connection table. My Cambium cnPilot router I have at home lets you adjust the max table size (up to 8192). Most are 2k or 4k. While even a low-end MikroTik will give you >100k.
