As a data point, in our network we:

- do run both SLAAC and DHCPv6
- we send RDNSS info over SLAAC
- we do provide both IPv4 and IPv6 DNSes via DHCP (v4 and v6 respectively)

Now it’s less so as we’ve been upgrading machines, but we used to get a 
significant amount of AAAA queries over v4 coming mostly from Windows machines. 

I don’t think running both SLAAC and DHCPv6 is a big deal. It’s weird, and it 
goes against one’s sense of ‘what should be right’, but in practice, it’s not 
really a problem.

cheers!
