I was rather dissuaded from trying to keep it working on any of my servers when, after much head-scratching and wrangling, I eventually traced a bunch of weird network issues on my desktop system to IPv6. Seems that any web requests to sites that supported v6 natively were randomly flaky and slow, causing terrible video streaming performance. Only fixed when I shut off v6 at the network adapter level.
Guess I'll try and turn it back on in a year or two and see if it's still terrible. If it's not, maybe I'll think about turning it on for some of my servers again.

If not, perhaps you forgot to apply TCP MSS clamping on v6. (An easy test for this is to set the MTU on your client machine to 1280.)
