For private networking this is true, if you want public connectivity with IPv6, you need to be aware that there is no SNAT and no floating IPs with IPv6. Instead you need to assign globally routable IPv6 addresses directly to your tenant subnets and use address-scopes plus neutron-dynamic-routing in order to make sure that these addresses get indeed routed to the internet. I have written a small guide how to do this[1], feedback is welcome.

Also noting that the good reference article at the end of this doc sadly has disappeared, though you can still find it via the web archives. See also
