can I skip assigning IPV4 addresses to save money

Asked Claude, would Moodle be able to reach moodle marketplace for updating plugins if I opt to not assign a ipv4 address, and assign only ipv6 and point cloudflare with proxying and the AAAA record? As of now, AWS charges for IPV4 records, while IPV6 records are free.

Claude's reply was that I should test it myself, but 

GitHub has no IPv6 support as far as I know, so git clone and Composer downloads from GitHub would fail.

Since that was a deal-breaker, I went with assigning Elastic IPs to all the VMs.
