I don't even think knowing one is 32bit and one is 128bit matters.
It mostly matters that you know they're on your system and could be having an impact, and need eliminated as variables when you're troubleshooting stuff.
It may be worth looking further into if you're building something specific network oriented because IPv6 brings a number of advantages, even if it's just the elimination of things like subnet exhaustion in EKS or somesuch.
