Not quite -- the practical usefulness of the multi-homing increases with the deployment of shim6-capable stacks. You could imagine a threshold of server and host upgrades which would provide useful multi-homing a good proportion of the time without universal deployment.
If Linux and the currently-supported variants of Windows were to be updated to support shim6, and we waited through three or four widely- publicised security vulnerabilities which required OS/kernel upgrades, perhaps that would be sufficient deployment for the benefits of shim6 to be felt, most of the time. My hands are waving again, of course.
I feel fairly certain I have exceeded some kind of unenforced posting threshold to this list in the last twelve hours. I will try hard to be quiet for a while, now :-)
