Packet capture on a switch is not going to show you everything (or anything).

Traffic passing through a switch is handled in the switch chipset and doesn't touch the CPU so RouterOS won't see most of it. You'll only see broadcasts or packets destined for the switch itself.  To packet capture you'd have to set up a port mirror, and you mirror the traffic to a port where your capture device is plugged in (CCR or PC with Wireshark).  I believe you can mirror traffic to the CPU, just keep in mind that the 800mhz ARM can't process the whole capacity of the port.  It's probably ok to do that if the port isn't carrying live traffic.

I don't 'think' it's an MTU issue, even a simple IPv6 ping won't go across the P2P circuit.

On the CRS317, if I torch Vlan3000 on the ccr1009 interface, I see the IPv6 icmp packets coming in from my CCR1009,  but if I torch the Interface going to the P2P circuit on the CRS317, I see no IPv6 traffic.  Is that a problem, or because of the way the Mikrotik packet flows work, I would only see traffic as it enters the router, and since there is no reply from the far end, nothing would show up.

I don't think MTU would be the issue.  If the endpoint has a 1500 byte MTU then it will send IP packets up to 1500 bytes long.  IPv6 header is a little longer, but that means the data portion will just have to be a little shorter.  So if you had an MTU issue with v6 you'd have an MTU issue with v4 also.

The ip6 traffic is encapsulated in the vlan? Ip6 headers I'm assuming are larger because the number itself is longer, mtu. But I'm just now learning to use vlans and I lick the tasty windows so I dont know a lot
