Joe,
I haven't done that kind of work for a few years now, but I assume the
answer to your question in terms of hardware is still yes.
By and large the problem isn't hardware, it's finding the institutional
will to actually do the thing. That requires a lot of education,
creating or buying resources that can do the architecture, and
ultimately the rollout, etc. etc.
And before all of that you have to overcome the fear of things that are
new and different, and even 20 years later that's still a tough hill to
climb.

Organizations I have worked with for IPv6 transition, reduced CAPex and

(https://www.ipv6ready.org/) to mitigate the "We sell IPv6 products, and
want to you to pay for the debugging costs".
Can I assume other organizations don't leverage the IT refresh cycle?
