Are you trying to VPN directly to IP addresses instead of DNS names? Or using a custom DNS server? You should still have connectivity to IPv4 hosts, it's just that you need to translate the IPv4 addresses into their corresponding NAT64 IPv6 address (which is usually done for you by the T-Mobile DNS server)
I'm changing my response. After getting my hotspot to give me IPv6 only, I tried to duplicate what you expected to see. And to my surprise, I did.
When I queried DNS for IPv4-only sites, I got IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. As recently as last month, I would get an empty result for those same queries (no IPs at all).
After 2 years of off/on attempts, T-Mobile IPv6 is (for the first time) working for me as you describe.

DNS resolved hostnames

[ed:Below is from memory, based on last month's results. It's from memory because when I 1st tested today, my hotspot gave me IPv4 (a thing it does ~30% of the time)]
TMobile's DNS servers give me an empty response to IPv4-only hostnames. When I'm in IPv6 only, there are a lot of sites I can't reach.
The response is appreciated.
