Hello,
I tested the systemd with version 255.4-1ubuntu8.11 in noble-proposed package and confirm it fixed the problem. 
The testing steps I have followed:
1. Set up an IPv6-only environment with iSCSI boot.
2. Enable noble-proposed repository and upgrade systemd package to 255.4-1ubuntu8.11
3. Run the networkctl command and verify that no links remain in the "configuring" state.
   # networkctl
IDX LINK      TYPE     OPERATIONAL SETUP     
  1 lo        loopback carrier     unmanaged
  2 ens300np0 ether    routable    configured
  3 ens340np0 ether    off         unmanaged

3. Restart the systemd-networkd-wait-online service and ensure that its status does not show error message:
   "Timeout occurred while waiting for network connectivity"
    # systemctl restart systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
root@instance-20250904-1814:/home/ubuntu# systemctl status systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Title:
  systemd-networkd-wait-online service times out in IPv6-only
  environments

Status in systemd source package in Noble:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In an iSCSI boot scenario within an IPv6-only environment, the link remains in the "configuring" state when the DHCPv6-assigned address conflicts with an already configured address.
  Although network connectivity works as expected, this condition causes the systemd-networkd-wait-online service to time out during the boot process.

  [Fix]
  This issue has been resolved upstream.
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/37916

  [Test Plan]
  1. Set up an IPv6-only environment with iSCSI boot.
  2. Run the networkctl command and verify that no links remain in the "configuring" state.
  3. Restart the systemd-networkd-wait-online service and ensure that its status does not show the following:

  [Where problems could occur]
  The commit introduces a new member variable to track this specific condition and updates the link status accordingly.
  If any regressions occur, the link status may become incorrect, potentially causing unexpected behavior in the systemd-networkd-wait-online service.
