Look to the mobile networks as a sign for things to come. How much money do you think network operators are going to invest in a highly available and performant IPv4 CGNAT experience? I know of one large mobile network that said they're constrained on CGNAT capacity and their plans arent positive.

My fiber ISP gives you overloaded PPPoE for the legacy "dedicated dynamic IP" experience, IPv6 is carried over more modern and performant IPoE infrastructure, and if you want you can use DS-lite for IPv4 to trade CGNAT for performance

Most of the stuff regular people care about performance for is on CDNs that support IPv6 (or is YouTube, Netflix etc)
