That's right, no IPV6 route cache.

But it doesn't seem to matter so much, as routing tables are
still small in that realm.  Although I heard the trend is for
that to change.

I also suspect that with things like policy routing we could run into
problems, but we have a multi-way tree for the IPV6 routing table
datastructure explicitly to handle those kinds of things.
