I've done brief surveys of a small group of well known tech companies (and
a few other groups) and a little over half of those have at least one IPv6
reachable authoritative nameserver (28 of 52 or ~ 54%):

Yes, the new gTLDs do require IPv6, and my survey of that group seems to
confirm that this is the case in practice:

You might be interested in NIST's larger measurement of over 2000 US
companies also. They show 77 of 2150 IPv6 reachable DNS domains (only 3.6%).
