If I understand right, that's an argument for grabbing both ipv4 and
ipv6 ports as early as possible.

I don't think that's incompatible with using separate sockets for each.
And doing so would simplify adding ipv6 later in situations when it
isn't initially available.  (But such situations might be rare?)
