nat64/nat46 - allows an IPv6-only host to interact in limited ways
with IPv4-only hosts. Don't go down this rabbit hole. This will
probably be useful in the waning days of IPv4 when folks are
dismantling their IPv4 networks but for now the corner cases will
drive you nuts. Plan on dual-stacking any network which requires
access to IPv4 resources such as the public Internet.

For many folks, that's easier said than done.

Think about it: If everyone could just dual-stack their networks, they
might as well single-stack them on IPv4 instead; there would be no
point whatsoever in transitioning to IPv6 for anyone.
