IPv4 isn't working fine unless the only use case for the Internet is pure client-server access to centralized cloud. Even there it's not working fine because cloud is running out of IP space.

It remains true that v4 is too small and that it isn't working fine. That's been the case for so long that a lot of people grew up with the problems and can't even see them because they're so used to them, but the problems are still there.
