It’s important to show the full picture. Here’s me creating the noipv6
network (as described by @abiosoft), then launching a container.
The container gets an IPv6 address but Incus is not aware of it.
Try the same steps and post if you get some different result.
$ incus network create noipv6 ipv6.address=none
Network noipv6 created
$ incus network show noipv6
config:
ipv4.address: 10.248.131.1/24
ipv4.nat: "true"
ipv6.address: none
description: ""
name: noipv6
type: bridge
used_by: []
managed: true
status: Created
locations:
- none
project: default
$ incus launch images:alpine/edge alpine --network=noipv6
Launching alpine
$ incus shell alpine

What is weird though, is that two such containers can ping each other over the IPv6 link-local address.
$ incus launch images:alpine/edge alpine1 --network=noipv6
