I'll try to put some answers here.

From your logs it looks like unbound has two problems: some sites do not
have an IPv6 capable nameserver in their lookup path, and this causes
unbound to servfail, because there are no IPv6 enabled servers that it
can query to answer your question.  www.microsoft.com is one of them
(somewhere in the CDN (akadns) it seems to have only A records).  The
other problem, from the long lookup lists, is that you have
harden-referral-path which creates deeper lookups to check things, and
this with IPv6 only causes more recursion.  Deeper than the default
configuration allows, and unbound prunes that deep recursion and creates
more SERVFAIL notices in the logs.  This recursion depth can be fixed by
setting the target-fetch-policy: "3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0"    . This adds three
more recursion depths, and works for me to resolve those SERVFAILs that
appear in the logs.  But more recursion does not find an IPv6 capable
server for some of the names, and this is what causes the lookup failures.

You note question marks around some private addresses.  From the page
you reference, the ::ffff:0:0/96 notation is one that unbound can parse
and use.  The ::ffff/96, is likely wrong, the /96 makes unbound ignore
the lower bits, that you set to ffff, so it is like 0::0/96, and this is
not what you wanted, I think.

Best regards, Wouter
