Using SLAAC is the way to go in most cases. DHCPv6 should only really be used when you have a network that is for some reason smaller than a /64. In my opinion

Using SLAAC is the way to go in most cases. DHCPv6 should only really be used when you have a network that is for some reason smaller than a /64.
In my opinion you shouldn't really bother with compatibility. Just do dual stack and maybe NAT IPv4 if necessary.
For my personal use cases IPv6 just proved to be much more versatile than IPv4. It did take some getting used to since it's approached differently, but learning it is very worth it and also helps using IPv4 better

Two big ones that stand out are timeservers and network booting parameters. SLAAC is only a drop in replacement in the (typical) home.
