I've never heard this promoted as good practice - why on earth would
you want to make life more difficult for yourself by running two IGPs
if you can run one?

Yes, if you use OSPF for IPv4 you *have* to use something else for
IPv6. But if you already run IS-IS there is no reason to change, just
remember to enable multi-topology.
