This is the basic configlet I applied to our routers -n- 
switches, ignoring any issues with the cef commands, of course.
I haven't seen any issues at all with our roll-out.

!
ipv6 unicast-routing
ipv6 cef
ipv6 cef distributed
!
router isis
 is-type level-2-only
 metric-style wide
 no adjacency-check
 !
 address-family ipv6
   multi-topology
   no adjacency-check
