There is zero reason not to rely on IPv4 for zone transfer.

RIPE nameservers have IPv6 connectivity.

So what exactly is the issue here?

All this seems pretty unrelated to ip6.arpa delegation for
3ffe. Things like TSIG or IPv6 transport for zone transfer are nice to
have, but to me as an uninitiated sound like bad excuses for still
more delay, for reasons untold.
