Again don't forget you have DNS on top of numbers. Even for the
management of network itself. It should be very helpful here.
Of course I do not take into account all possible use cases.
This will be in an ideal world, everybody using DNS for everything ... tell all the app and web developers, not all them follow the good practices ...

I bet that this is one of the BIGGEST IPv6 excuse around me at least.
Many people relies on numbers instead of Fully Qualified Domain Names :) .
I think it will be better to explain now to layer 7 team to adopt DNS :
scalabilty, resilience,...

<p>Of course I agree with you that DNS and dynamic DNS make life
easier. But I want to point out that there are lots of ways to
make key IPv6 addresses easier to remember. Once you're familiar
with your address block, remembering 2001:db8:: is surely no
harder than remembering 192.0.2. If infrastructure equipment is
numbered from an early block, like 2001:db8:1::/48, then you just
remember locations or individual hosts. Maybe your Bigcity region
is #5 and name servers are always ::53 so it's easy to remember:</p>
<p> 2001:db8:1:5::53</p>
<p> <my prefix> <infrastructure> <region> ...
<host ID></p>
<p>Lots of tricks like that make life easier for people who insist
numbers are easier to type or remember than names. But nothing
beats a good IPAM synchronized with DNS and DHCP.<br>
