Hello,
if the server is only DC you can disable it, see the next articles about why and also maybe why not:

Hi
If you are not using any IPv6 in your network.
You can disable the IPv6 with out hesitations.
Before doing this take the back of the server, in case of any issues you can revert back.
You can fallow the same above link do achieve it.
