IPv6 is just as secure as IPv4. NAT usually combines address translation with a stateful firewall. I remember when they were separate things. IPv6 has the stateful firewall, all the same security but without the mess of address translation.

Also, if you have devices connected to WAN, then they are insecure because they are not NATed.
