I'm not switching my private network. This has nothing to do with wider adoption, nor do I have issues with IPv6 as a protocol.

What's blocking me is router firmware. It can do IPv6, but only as an afterthought. Sadly, no level of adoption is going to fix that, until I buy a new router.

Time for a new router, then, and by "new" I mean any produced in the last ten years. I have several old routers in a junk drawer that only do 10/100 and even they support it.
It supports it, but DHCP and the firewall are much less configurable. Things are exacerbated by my being behind 2 routers.

A router that fixes all this is at least 120. That is too much for me. I tried dd-wrt, but that doesn't fix the first router on the chain.
