Sadly, the ipv6 requirement is a hard requirement imposed by Libera.
They want it to be full bridging so that they can remove individual
accounts if need-be. Otherwise they'd have to ban the entire bridge,
and that could be a sticky situation.

Right now, that's how I'm considering the Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu
channels: fallbacks, although the activity level in those respective
IRC channels is so low after 6 months it's almost moot.
Since switching to Matrix, the activity level and quality has gone up
significantly. Even problematic messages (e.g. spam) can be deleted,
whereas on IRC once it's there, it's there forever. That said, the
security and anti-spam measures that have been put into place have been
extremely robust and beneficial.
In the big picture, I'd consider the move to Matrix as primary a good
move.
