I'm not sure I understand why you are calling v6-only network 'broken one'?
I've been sitting in v6-only network at RIPE meetings since that SSID
was introduced.
I'm in Japan now and so far I did not have to connect to dual-stack
SSID - v6-only works just fine.
What exactly (besides a few applications) is broken here?

RIPE Atlas probe is a host. It should not care much if it's traffic is
going via NAT64 box or not.
