no, here is the project for that:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4565

general Tor IPv6 roadmap

Enabling IPv6 ORPorts makes sense even if relay-to-relay communication is
still limited to IPv4 since it makes guards more accessible for clients and
prepares for the next steps (and shows us better how many support it properly)

So yes, please enable IPv6 ORPorts and IPv6Exit if you can.
