I tried an IPv6 AWS Lightsail instance recently. It had a private IPv4 address, but it’s not behind NAT and won’t route outside the network.
Which would be fine if all the software packages you need can access things over IPv6 on their servers. One that doesn’t is WordPress, because of course it doesn’t. That means no plugins or updates except by manual downloads.
But hey, who would ever want to run WordPress on a cheap Lightsail instance?

Pay them for a public ipv4.
Sure, that’s what you have to do. You shouldn’t have to at this point.
