I wonder how bad search engines would penalize an IPV6 only site, is there any information on it?

I believe they do it the same way they do to others because fundamentally the IP stack is not considered in the search algorithm. Results should show up, if the user doesn't have IPv6 oh well user's problem.

There's always this guy from Google saying the same: https://www.seroundtable.com/dual-stack-ipv4-6-google-seo-30152.html

This guy is talking about dual-stack, and I was talking on IPV6 only, when your site is unavailable for someone that doesn't have an IPV6 connection

I don't think they care? Google doesn't seem to. Search loops of zen and one of the top results is loopsofzen.uk which is IPv6 only. They honestly shouldn't factor IP stack in at all. They shouldn't even notice it. If their crawler has IPv6 it will crawl ipv6 only sites. If their crawler doesn't then it won't. Whether the user can visit the site or not is their problem
