That RFC glosses over a LOT of details. I'm skeptical the effort would be a bit smaller, once you consider what is required for routing and the "translation service." That's totally glossed over in the RFC, by the way.
Unless you're planning on doing all IP communications in user space (or within your network "cluster"), the OS and IP stack still needs to be updated, you need a new addressing format, applications need to be aware of it, etc. If you want to actually make use of the new address space, it all needs to be updated... just like IPv6.
