Note while you have cosmetic similarities to ipv4 addresses, the actual challenging part of that is the packet format and various translations.
We actually have a number of existing schemes for ipv4 mapping onto larger address space and the attendant NAT requirements. The presentation of addresses in an ipv4 looking way is the least of the challenges.
So don’t take IPv8 seriously, it is slop and even in theory it wouldn’t add anything new except a different cosmetic look to raw addresses and shortening the address space for no good reason.
