Not really.

IPv6 doesn't allow you to easily get a new completely random address. You get a subnet allocated by your ISP, and you can use any address within that subnet. Rather than blocking a single IPv6 address, a service like Cloudflare can just block the entire IPv6 subnet prefix and get the same result as blocking an IPv4 address.




They obviously don't do it this way and implement more roundabout ways because it's not as simple or straightforward.
