This approach doesn't break IPv4, but it will work regardless of whether
IPv4 is working or not. So if/when IPv4 goes away you can plug any port into
any other port, even in topologies that IPv4+NAT can't handle, and it will
still work.

I don't think "doesn't work if IPv4 doesn't work" should be a goal.

No, the intention is that there be only one prefix on the link.
