Yes. apparently such device are available but there are hard to get.

Yes that can be problematic.
But right now I have other priorities than engaging in such an adventure. Fortunately the fiber is "open". One can choose between half a dozen ISPs. So if my pesent ISP cab not solve the problem with the IPv6 pinholing in their modem/router I will simply switch provider when the contract expires...
