This sucks. For a while I’ve been wanting to apply to become a RIPE member and receive a /22 allocation that I wanted to use to bootstrap a community mesh network in my area. You snooze you lose.
Dual stacks aren’t going away any time soon, either you do that, or some CGNAT 6-to-4 stuff on the network edge, and you’ll need at least some IPv4 allocation
Yup… it went really fast the last couple of months… I was just in time, was also thinking about it for a long time, but finally registered 6 months ago. My /22 and /29 (v6) are live as we speak :)

Why not use IPv6 for this application? Sounds ideal.
