Except for cases when it is impossible or impractical to update

You mean devices where the manufacture ignore IPv6 and shipped you a dud.
Even devices with a 15 year life cycle should be IPv6 capable today.

“should” doesn’t buy developer cycles, especially for EOL products or from
bankrupt vendors.

You deal with the network you have, upgrade what you can, and replace the
rest as fast as you can while doing what it takes to stay in business.
