Site local is useful to know about, even if it is technically deprecated. I explained it [1] for a test-setup that has no actual IPv6 connectivity.
Without a non-link-local IPv6 address, resolvers will often omit IPv6 addresses in their response.
Another big difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is in the localhost address scheme.
IPv4: 127.0.0.1/8 - 24 bits of free addresses
IPv6: ::1/128 - no free addresses
Many people won’t care about this but some local hacks make use the localhost address space for fun and profit.
