+ You're in the majority. For example, only ~40% of the global traffic Google receives is over IPv6.
+ There aren't any generally availably internet services.
If you ever find yourself worrying about NATs, reverse NATs, or, generally, exposing things running with a non-internet facing IP addresses to the Internet, it may be time to learn more about IPv6.
Until then, for the use-case you've described, you're good.
I'd go even further as to apply this to most small and mid-size businesses.
