Honestly, how old is your equipment at this point to not support IPv6 at 
all or usably in the data plane and in-band parts of the control plane? 
I wouldn't think it's even commercially relevant anymore.  Pretty much 
anything L3 with at least 10Gb ports probably has support for most 
things relevant to a small local ISP.

You might be missing some niceties, but even some new stuff is missing 
those.  The big one I've seen is a nice way to handle DHCPv6-PD 
delegations without having to resort to using BGP to inject the routes 
(looking at you, Extreme SLX).
