Shared networks with IPv6 only cannot work. NPE is observed with MAC address of VM's NIC when a VM is deployed or added to such networks.

@wido can you please review this one, as I know you guys are heavy on IPv6 - this sounds strange to me - but perhaps true.

That is correct. IPv6-only networks are not yet supported with CloudStack.

IPv4 is always needed at the moment. For example cloud-init requires it.
