Any form of communication with the current IPv4/IPv6 mixed internet,
except for dual stack, also requires some sort of NAT.

A+P is equivalent to end to end NAT, though end to end NAT
only needs plain IP routers behind gateways, whereas A+P
requires routers with A+P routing capability for large
(but not very large) number of hosts. As networks behind
the gateways are local and not so large, it can not be a
practical problem.

No, not at all.
