I really, really, really hope not.  NAT has always seemed to me to introduce
more problems than it solves; and it's led to so many horribly hacky
solutions and systems (STUN, SIP reflectors, Skype's bandwidth vampires,
one-way mappings in firewalls, ugh) that the opportunity to do without it
entirely in IPv6 is just such a relief.

There are other mechanisms in IPv6 for obfuscation and "hiding the internal
infrastructure" - see RFC3041 for example.

Anybody worked for a medium size organisation with several thousand nodes

No NAT; RFC3041; firewalls between sensitive networks.
