IPv6 for home lab (lemmy.world)

Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are "invisible" to everyone (I'm looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, "why not disable IPv4 instead?" I'd have half as many firewall rules, routes and configurations. What are the risks?

Having used Azure for a few years now I feel like that might not be entirely on Comcast.

Maybe, but I have yet to see another home ISP with the same problem.
