You forgot the original need: share a single IPv4 among different services.

If going IPv6-only, the need for a reverse proxy is seriously lowered. You could spin multiple servers up (even on different machines), listening to 443. Have each service handle its certificate renewal, etc.

That "original need" is exactly what GP is talking about.

Right, indirectly (single port). I was spelling it out.
