Thanks for the feedback! I was not aware there is a (minimal) UCI integration done for Jool - it was not there before.

There's still issue with running Jool in the main network namespace as it is not controllable by firewall rules, does not translate locally-generated traffic, fights over dynamic port numbers and needs to be reconfigured every time the public IPv4 changes. This is all resolved by running in a namespace.

I may look into improving the integration to support namespaces.

Also, NAT64 alone only fixes part of the problem, you still have to deal with jurassic IP literals which is where xLAT + all companion features come in

reading your slides again, it's clearly there:
"Stealing packets in the PREROUTING, injecting translated
packets into POSTROUTING
- Hard to enforce firewall rules
- Translation not available for locally generated traffic"

One just needs to read it though. :awesome:
