if you go down this path, you could rather do BGP tunnelling.
as in run BGP sessions between the peers, exchange native IPv6 prefixes, but use a 6to4
next-hop. that achieves the mesh properties you are looking for with an existing mechanism.
of course someone will have to advertise a default route somewhere.

cheers,
Ole
