Would it be possible and/or feasible to instead modify ip_gre to support
also ipv6 as outer protocol? 

It already has ipv6 stuff in it for the inner protocol support. And it
would avoid duplicating most of the code.

And I would especially love that approach, since I could then on
per-target basis say if it should be contacted with IPv4 or IPv6. As in:
 
  ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev gre1
  ip neigh add 10.0.0.2 lladdr 192.168.x.x dev gre1 nud permanent
  ip neigh add 10.0.0.3 lladdr fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 dev gre1 nud permanent
