My ISP finally supports IPv6 now, is to secure to open the ports to IPv6 also in the router? Does it bring security issues?

Well, it is not more dangerous for your server, because it is build with this concern.
So, for example, there is a firewall in YunoHost.
The main problem with IPv6 is that EVERY OBJECT on your local network will be directly accessible on Internet.
And I have no idea if your PC is safe enough.
And the PC is the « easy » answer, is your printer safe ? Your fridge ? Your hoover ? Your toothbrush ? Your Google home/Alexa/Siri ?
There are TONS of devices in today’s houses, and virtually none of them are made with « I will be available on the Internet » taken into account.
So, for your server, no, no problem to have an IPv6.
For the rest of your devices, this can be risky.
P.S. I activated IPv6 at home, and I know that my printer is the weak point.

The printer may be the weak point on mine also. Besides that there’s only a few computers all well managed running linux and a few android phones.
