(except for stuff like DHCPv6 snooping, etc?)For management it does care. NO ipv4 is NO ipv4. As in not even management addresses.
Also, if a switch does not do MLD snooping, it will flood multicast to all ports. You lose one of the major benefits of IPv6 multicast - less admin traffic. You need to spec new switches with IPv6 capability.
