Context:
People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)
... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

And what happens when DNS inevitably falls over and I need to fix it?
And when I'm watching IP addresses scroll by, IPv6 ones are a lot harder to read than v4
some super gigabrained chad linux nerd will have written a tool to automatically configure it and have open sourced it.
You could probably just use that. I think like most things in life, the answer is automation.
I wouldn't trust it unless I wrote it myself. And even then maybe not.
well then go and do it manually, surely you as a human wouldn't make any mistakes. Would you?
DNS, by its very nature is redundant. So DNS shouldn't just fall over. If it does, you're doing something wrong.
If you absolutely need to go to IP addresses, they should be documented.
Unless DNS is outright wrong, there should not be an issue.
For scrolling: are you staring at active log files? Who isn't using a syslog aggregator? You can easily look up the IP of whatever device that is interesting and filter the log by that IP.
