I'm not aware of any v6 extensions for RSVP.

Just out of curiosity is there a business problem/requirement/limitation you're trying to solve by not changing the next hop to v6 mapped v4 address and using native v6 NHs instead please?
Please be aware that whatever solution you'll find will likely put you on the long tail of the usual deployment graph with all its drawbacks.   
On contrary 6PE/6VPE is such a well-trodden path.
