Fair enough, but your previous suggestion "So use IPv6" then really
means "Find an IPv6 provider", which, given the lack of otherwise
appropriate ISP alternatives, either means "significantly compromise on
cost or value", or implement some of third party tunnel service. And
what about the ISP on the remote side, which I certainly don't
control?

The context of our discussion is seamless and collision-free host access
across a VPN, not "internal-only stuff" - unless your directions below
are going to work even when the ISPs on both ends don't provide IPv6?
