Not really. Or rather, it will, at the following costs:
- all IPv6 implementations must be rewritten
- need an IPv6->GSE transition strategy but unlike v4->v6 addresses
look the same
- still renumbering necessary when switching ISPs
- identity theft trivial unless we implement id<->locator security
protocols
- no multihoming without extra protocols to detect and repair failures

As I've been saying for years: if you fix the problems with GSE, you
end up with something that looks a lot like shim6.
