protecting ipv6 Networks works just the same as ipv4 networks. by using firewalling.
NAT is not a security mechanism. most consumer routers seem to block any incoming traffic from the outside world by default anyways.

Should I use ipv6 at home when my doesn't have one?
I honestly struggle to find good information on the protocol that's decades old. It's either to deep for me to care for my needs or too shallow to understand why and how should I just it. Scaremongering is what I find on the internet. And no real benefits for me to update my hardware or find ISP that has ipv6.
But I do fully get that firewall without NAT is perfectly fine (great) in an IPv6 world - but may be necessary in simpler multi-ISP routing scenarios...
It also means that you never experience port exhaustion on large networks, which is a problem for large IPv4 NAT deployments.
