In my experience it just works.

There was one (very recent) exception, where a website had been moved to
a new provider and IPv6 was now available.  They copied across their
config files from the old site.  What they forgot was that the old
config files didn't enable IPv6.  A simple fault that was quickly fixed,
and was not a fault of IPv6 in itself.  Since then the site has just
worked over IPv6 and IPv4.

I moved my own website to a new provider a few weeks ago, specifically
because the old provider didn't do IPv6 on their low cost shared servers
(despite saying on their own website that IPv6 was supported everywhere!).
The new website just worked from the get-go over IPv6 and IPv4.

The analysis I've seen of the world's internet traffic indicates that
over 50% is now IPv6, and rising.

What I particularly like about IPv6 is that NAT/NAPT are simply not
necessary, and it's possible to have multiple servers on the same port
(e.g. multiple web servers on port 80/443) on one site, because you
have effectively unlimited internet-accessible addresses.
