Those configuration files look fine!

You can freely mix IPv4 and IPv6 with tinc.

Tinc itself does not assign addresses to interfaces, that is left up to you.
For example, in the tinc-up script on AP 1, you could add:

#!/bin/sh
ip addr add 10.0.1.1/16 dev $INTERFACE
ip addr add 2001:470:780f:1::1/56 dev $INTERFACE
ip link set $INTERFACE up

Yes, that will work.
