One thing I noticed looking at my logs is that there is almost no unsolicited traffic (i.e. failed authentication attempts, exploits of various worldpress bugs, etc) through ipv6. I think it's a function of 1) those coming from networks (compromised home devices, etc) that don't support v6, 2) the v6 address space being too large to scan (the size of an encryption key), so good security by obscurity. This would nullify 2).
