Not true, 2001:1868:209:FFFD:0013:50FF:FE12:3456 provides some amount of geographic information about the target that the other addresses do not. No firewall is going to protect you from that. Of course that is only going to matter in the specific scenario where your internal IP is leaked but the attacker has not other way of getting your external IP.
