You miss the point.

People expect NAT support ICMP. But, NAT for ICMPv6 does not need
state, unless it is ICMP error against ICMP echo, contains large
routing header, is fragmented and the first fragment does not
contain checksum.

It is an example of how IPv6 was bloated to have many useless
features ignoring corner cases of interactions of the features.
