The next largest hurdle is trying to explain to your server guys that you are going to go with all dynamically assigned addressing now
Completely false, but a very common misconception. There is nothing about IPv6 that prevents you from assigning static addresses.
and explaining to your system admin that can’t get a net mask in v4 figured out, how to configure their systems for IPv6.
If they only need an outbound connection, they probably don't need any configuration. The instructions for assigning a static address for inbound connections vary by OS, but I've seen a lot of them, and none of them are more than 10 lines long.
Regarding the previous comments about all the drama of adding DNS records, etc.; that is what IPAM systems are for. If you're small enough that you don't need an IPAM for IPv4, you almost certainly don't for IPv6.
IPv6 is different, but it's not any more difficult to learn than IPv4. (You weren't born understanding IPv4 either.)
