And of course I doubt the 5100 has enough space for a full v6 table even
today (and that's before ECMP).

You're right, but things are finally improving here, and in theory this
works today, depending on what vendor combination and bugs you've got.
Although it'll be a while still before we can get a v6 native MPLS
network with no v4 needed at all, even for loopbacks.
