FWIW, off-internet use has always been a valid justification for IPv4 allocations per the NRPM; there’s no language requiring that addresses be publicly routed, and there are definitely use cases for private networks that have the same unique addressing requirements as the public internet; financial exchange networks come to mind first, but I’m sure there are others. I don’t see any reason to treat IPv6 any differently.
