The benefit of NAT class mechanisms, is that cost and benefit are aligned. Only one side needs to deploy it.

Actually, the benefit of NAT class mechanisms is that one party deploys them and another party incurs the costs. NAT is great for the network operator, because it moves a number of problems out of the network operator's domain. But it doesn't do that by solving the problem, it does so by making the application's job more difficult.

Could you elaborate?
What are the other side cost? What problems does it solve for the network operator? (and I truly want to know since I can’t quite figure out what you are referring to)

How I see it is that NPTv6 solves a set of problems the host stack and applications are not ready to tackle. 
Mainly: ephemeral addressing, multi-homing, service abstractions.
