I am not sure that I like the idea that traffic originating as IPv4 TCP
traffic will be transported by UDP across tunnels to obtain IPv6
connectivity.

This requires that the tredo "server" will know to ask for retransmits
should anything fail to reach it's destination.

Sounds a bit iffy to me, especially as people are looking for more quality
of service guarantees and commitments.
