That is why the stance that, "I have IPv4 so I don't need to do

world at present, but we will get into a situation where either one
or both sides of a given IP conversation are behind multiple layers
of NAT that they don't control, and that's bad.

I recently came across a couple of articles that indicate that due
to the issues I mentioned in this email, IPv6 is already faster than
IPv4:

Yup. In my area all the bandwidth-intensive stuff from mobile devices is already going over a nice IPv6 route; it's unfortunate that the wired providers have dragged their feet so much.
