For most tools that I ordinarily use, I would certainly agree with
this.  The only exception might be from a web browser; while there are
ways that they can be reconfigured to only use certain IP versions in
certain cases, it is probably more straightforward to use
www.ipvN.domain.tld or a similar name.

For reverse DNS, I completely agree that there is no reason to use a
different name.
