Far easier to use ipv8, which just has 5 octets instead of 4.

We have that variant of IPv8, it's what CGNAT gives you, especially if you run MAP-E or MAP-T (which are technically not quite NAT, but kinda are, it's… complicated). You take some bits from the port number and essentially repurpose them into part of the address.

It's a nice band-aid technology, no less and no more.

That still means replacing every part of the chain.
