on a very similar mail I've shown a good argument for IPv6 internally
earlier
this year, see: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2024-February/248183.html

As far as I can see, you only need a client, a VPN server, the internet
and the external IP to connect to. Provided that the VPN is set up
correctly it should work and it shouldn't care whether you are
connecting to an IPv4 or IPv6 external IP. Once the VPN connection is
secure, then the internal network is irrelevant, you could use IPV4 or
IPv6, which brings me back to my earlier statement, who has over 6
million network devices internally ?

If anyone wants to use IPv6, then who am I to stop them ? I am just
stating my point of view, which is: Who needs it internally ?
