No we would not. IPv4 with NAT can scale for a very, very long time. If we had been politically bold 20 years ago, or 10 years ago, we'd not have a problem for a long time to come. Instead, the cost of replacing software and devices for IPv6 is staggering and will depress other investment.
And IPv6 doesn't even solve any other, modern networking proverbs any better than v4.

Just ask everyone in India and China sitting behind three levels of Carrier-Grade NAT how great that experience is. And hey, working out a rotational schedule as to who gets to have the XBox Live ports to themselves on what night of the month is a great way to meet your neighbours.
