Aha. How often does it change? I too have dynamic addresses, In theory. My IPv4 address has been stable for almost two years now. It only changes when the MAC address of the CPE changes. It can be stable for years. The IPv6 prefix changes a bit more often and there is no visible pattern. But it is only twice a year or so. Not often enough to bother with dyndns. On the rare occasion that it changes, I just update it manually. For a hobby system it is no big deal if IPv6 is occasionally down for a few hours.

For IPv6 it is more difficult than for IPv4. When my ISP started offering native IPv6 some four years ago, I had to make a choice. As it is they only offer native IPv6 if you use their cable modem/router. That router does not support tunnels. The he.net tunnel did a fine job, but I never got more than half the IPv4 speed. With native IPv6 I have the full speed. So I dropped the tunnel and went native IPv6 despite the minor inconvienence of a dynamic IPv6 prefix.

I don't have to worry about reverse DNS. My ISP does that for me. ;-)
