You might find the opposite is true, though. Many dual-stack clients try
both IPv4 and IPv6 and use whichever works best:

In other words, adding IPv6 might sometimes completely avoid problems
for your customers (saving you time), because it makes some IPv4
problems no longer noticeable.
I'm confident that adding IPv6 support to all sites my company hosts
reduced the number of "I can't reach a site on your servers" complaints,
simply because there are two available network paths to our servers for
most Comcast customers, customers on 4G connections, etc.
From my perspective, IPv6 has added a widely-adopted form of network
redundancy as an unexpected side-effect. "Neat!"
