Of course this is possible, but this also means, that a node not doing DHCPv6 (because it does not support it or because it is disabled on the node), will only get an address of the SLAAC prefix and thus has to go to through the network router to have its packets routed the other one. So even though both nodes are on the same physical network, all traffic has to pass through a router, instead of being exchanged directly between the two nodes. This means a lot of unnecessary load for the this router to route "local traffic".
