Long time ago I tried it out:

https://blog.acostasite.com/2013/02/publicando-prefijos-ipv6-sobre-sesiones.html
I did not like, difficult troubleshooting in case something goes
wrong (however I can understand it's a nice feature to have and in
might be useful in some scenarios).
But you are right I do not know much about networks doing it, I also would like hear about it.
Alejandro,
Let's just jump all the arguing about lack of IPv4, the need of IPv6, and etc...
I must confess that I don't know all the RFCs.
I would like it, but I don't!
And today, I reached on https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5549
I knew that was possible to transfer v4 routes over v6 BGP sessions, or v6 routes over v4 BGP sessions.
But I got surprised when I saw this youtube vídeo of AMS-IX guys considering use a v6 only Lan, and doing v6 next-hops to v4 routes.
Well... I guess that idea didn't go to production.
But the questions are:
There is any network that really implements RFC5549?
Can anyone share some information about it?--
