It's honestly super simple to set up. Outside of your ISP config it's almost all autoconfig. 100% of the complication (at least for me) comes from knowing ipv4 first for 20 years and then trying to incorrectly map those concepts to V6.

As soon as I "let go" it was fine.

There's not a huge net benefit you're right. I mostly wanted to learn and I hope to be at the front edge of disabling ipv4 in the near distant future.

An issue I had the last time I tried to set up IPv6 up was pihole didn't work as well as I would have preferred. I assumed I just didn't set up things correctly and it's looking like that is the case based on the OP.

It kept resolving ad domains with their IPv6 address.

Who cares if it access them over ipv6. Their still blocked.

If ad domains can be resolved to their IPv6 addresses, it means that they are not blocked. Your device connects to the IPv6 address and serves the ad.

I can't remember what the problem was but my window to rollback was closing so I reverted back to IPv4 only and pushed it to another day.
