You can absolutely use them, you just need static or DHCP addressing just like the old days. But thanks SLAAC for forcing my ISP to give me /64 or bigger so I can always subnet into /96 for example.



How many devices actually support DHCPv6? SLAAC is pretty much the standard way of assigning addresses these days.


Just about anything with a screen these days. The biggest holdout is Android and a bunch of IoT stuff.

SLAAC works on any device that supports DHCPv6, though, so you might as well use it if you don't have any requirements to favour DHCPv6
