Only for the device identifier part of the address. Prefix that the ISP will allocate will remain static, unless ISP does rotate the prefix too, which they don't really have a need to, unless for privacy reasons. And knowing ISPs and demand for privacy, it's highly unlikely to happen.

It does, but is still hard to do. Static IP prefix is going to make the heuristics much, much better.
Besides, evading most of the fingerprinting techniques is not that complicated - most of it is in the hands of the client. IPv6 adds something out of the hands of the client.
