No NAT required for IPv6 (incoming or outgoing) connections. And
there doesn't appear to be any restrictions on IPv6 traffic.
This is with the round Dishy.

Excellent incentive!
It would be good to know whether the dishy router obtains a /56 or
a /64
prefix from the starlink ISP. That is easy to find out by just
looking
at the packets. This would tell whether a NAT can be avoided at
home,
and hence more apps made possible.
IT would also be good to know whether the claimed IPv6 access on
dishy
is via a tunnel (IPv6 in IPv6, or IPv6 in IPv4) or it is 'native'
(no
tunnel). That will tell many things about additional latency that
might
be brought in by IPv6. (we'd want less latency, not more).
After that, one can look more at promoting IPv6. Otherwise, IPv6
might
still look as a hurdle, an obstacle, additional work that is too
little
necessary, or might even be worse than IPv4.
