Roughly how long will it take the fairphone 6 to reach the level of support the fairphone 4 is at now?

I’m debating getting one to tinker with

Depends on what you mean by level of support. If you mean hardware, it will never get USB3 or display out. This will make it less attractive as a linux phone, which means it will get less support from the tinkerers.

If you mean community support, after reading a few topics on the Fairphone forums, probably never. To put it in perspective, I know I wouldn't accept a hypothetical free FP5 to FP6 upgrade.
