RFCs do not expire.  ietf-drafts do.

(Even "experimental" RFCs do not expire).

The reason why NAT64 exists is because it solves a real problem: eyeball
networks that *just do not have* IPv4 addresses connecting to servers
that have no v6 (yet).  And I'm quite happy that people actually went
through the pains of writing down how to do this, so that other people
then can use the RFC as reference when evaluating "black boxes".
