Softwires is taking the solution that involves tunneling private- space v4 over a v6-only cloud, and then doing a NAT towards the public v4 Internet.

I have a problem with that.

In my opinion, it's an open question whether tunneling is a better approach than translation for this use case (IPv4 clients connecting to IPv4 servers through an IPv6 network). Doing the work in softwires de facto answers that question through process rather than consensus.
