It's quite possible you would not need DHCPv6 at all. The DNS protocol is oblivious to the way it gets transported: A DNS server will answer an IPv4 (A) or IPv6 (AAAA) hostname record as requested, regardless whether a client connects via IPv4 or IPv6. And the majority of IPv6 clients won't request an IPv6 address via DHCPv6, but rather use SLAAC to construct their IPv6s themselves, only using the IPv6 prefix as learned from your router. The favoured method of a client would depend on a client's OS. Linux and MacOS could do DHCPv6 or SLAAC early on, Windows first favoured DHCPv6, but supported SLAAC since Win 10 or 8.1, and Android does and only ever did SLAAC exclusively. Are you running your dnsmasq on a router or a dedicated server? As it's the router's job to advertise IPv6 configuration information (like prefix or DNS servers), you probably only have to deal with dnsmasq's IPv6 configuration if its running on a router.
