I know the reasons for the lack of NAT support, which are given over and

All of the networks I manage have at least one or more points where
multiple hosts are connected with a single network interface to a
network which is not routed to the outside, but translated instead.
Some other hosts have two interfaces and are connected to both this
private/internal network and to another where they have routable IPv4
addresses.

So carve up your IPv6 allocation into chunks for your previously private subnets, setup routes for them, and firewall off incoming connections to the private ones at your router/firewalls. You have no shortage of spare IPs when you get a IPv6 allocation.

I'm not getting the issue. All you lose is the many real ips hidden behind one public ip effect. They still reach the internet, they can still be grouped together, they can still be made unreachable from the broader world by your firewalls. What doesn't it do that you need?
