If you are using stateless NAT64, you can carry it across redundant NAT64 boxes. You can load-share and so on. This is done - redundant stateless translation - between CERNET and CERNET2, which is the set of folks that adapted SIIT for ISP use.

It does mean that you embed an IPv4 prefix in an IPv6 prefix. There are products in the market, and the documents are in the RFC Editor's queue.
