  Finally ipv6 kicking in and ipv4 becomes not so relevant?

  Ipv6 will never become mainstream

  IPv4 will be exhausted.

  I am curious how many layers of NAT will be deployed by numerous home ISPs before finally ditching IPv4

  Major services will likely have IPv6 working for most of the stuff, and shared IPv4 addresses for less popular services.

  I mean not publicly facing things but broadband end-users

  Most major American (and I believe Canadian) ISPs have had serviceable IPv6 for quite some time. A dozen years or more for Comcast, for instance. A lot of the smaller ones were spooked into it when Facebook started moving some of their stuff to IPv6-only and offering slightly less featureful experiences to IPv4-only users.

  As I don't use Facebook (and have never signed up, even when it required an educational address still, since even then I didn't trust the Zuck), I cannot say how much impact on the average user comes from losing IPv6 access. But I am grateful that they made at least some ISPs realize that IPv6 wasn't just some thing that was optional to support (since they had way more IPv4 than they needed due to ARIN handing it out like candy way back when).

  Where could I rent/buy multiple /29 or larger IPv6 blocks?

  AFAIK no RIR allocates anything larger than /29

  That's not true - they do, you just need a solid justification.
