As you mention "overlap", you should mean business merger implies
network and office merger, which causes relocation of a office,

Overlap here refers to network address space address space, a fundamental part of this discussion.  Formerly separate 
networks containing separately managed rfc1918 spaces are prone to overlap require ingenious solutions for end-to-end 
traffic without renumbering.

Mergers do not cause relocation of an office, which is not germane to this discussion. 

which, in general, requires provider change and renumbering
of globally unique addresses, unless you own /24.

Moot since we are not discussing office moves. However, renumbering to global IPv6 addressing allows easy coexistence 
with the global Internet

Ignoring short-sighted
financial management views, the best long term solution is globally
unique IPv6 addressing wherever possible.

See above.

See previous.


Or, if you mean network merger remotely with VPN, small
number of hosts requiring E2E transparency may be renumbered,
but it is not so painful.

Nobody mentioned VPN or limiting the number of hosts requiring E2E. “not so painful” is not  meaningful metric in this 
discussion.
