Regarding the IPv6-SR compatibility, as SRH is basically 'loose source
routing', it only requires:
- SRH processing by all SR-enabled router whose segment id is in the SRH,
typically some PE routers. Those will need to be modified indeed but those
will be minority
- SRH forwarding (i.e. Not parsing or acting upon the SRH) for all
remaining routers. Those will be the majority

The latter is currently OK, I wrote a small script
https://www.vyncke.org/sr.php which basically sends a dummy SRH to your
browser (requirement is that your browser/clients supports IPv6) and after
a dozen of tests, all were successful. While this is not a mathematical
proof, this is good enough from my engineer's point of view

Hope this helps
