One of the issues that intermediate nodes (as well as end nodes) have with processing IPv6 is the open endedness of the protocol mechanisms. By the spec, end hosts are supposed to be able to reassemble a single packet composed of over 8000 fragments. Before RFC8200, all intermediate nodes were expected to process packets that could contain over 700 individual Hop-by-Hop options. Those simply aren't practical to support in an implementation, and as Fernando points out no one is going to spend money on fixing that. But, we can set reasonable expections of support, such a minimum fragment size or allow a limit on number of options in packet (eight is suggested for instance). With such limits and improved packet processing tehniques and device programmability, I think it's feasible and cost-effective for new network devices to increase their protocol compliance.
