I'm not sure how it solves that problem. 6to4 is not a translation mechanism -- it's a tunnelling mechanism. 6to4 does not provide any way for an IPv4-only host to talk to an IPv6-only host.
In order to make use of 6to4, surely servers and load balancers still need to support IPv6 -- they just get loaded with addresses covered by a 6to4 prefix rather than a prefix assigned by an RIR or an IPv6 transit provider.
