Is it reasonable to hate and avoid IPv6 for fears of further privacy erosion (easier tracking than with IPv4)?

  In 2005 or so, sure. Now...not so much? What privacy erosion/easier tracking are you talking about that wasn't remedied by the very wide deployment of RFC4941 (IPv6 Privacy Extensions) in operating systems?

    with IPv4 my ISP has to shuffle IPs with every reconnect. with IPv6 you could get one IP for lifetime?

      That's orthogonal to IPv4 and IPv6. There's ISPs that give you always the same IPv4 adress, there's ISPs that give you a different IPv6 prefix each time.
