Rogue RA's can take down statically IPv6'ed boxes.
Rogue DHCP servers will never affect a statically configured IPv4 box.
I believe that that would depend on whether your configuration of a static IPv6 address on your box also disabled accepting RA. On LInux, I believe it is something like net.ipv6.conf.<if>.autoconf=0 and net.ipv6.conf.<if>.accept_ra=0 (could easily be typos there, doing it from memory). As with much else, your devops scripts/processes may need to change for IPv6 vs IPv4 (which is why, especially for enterprises, it is not as easy as just turning it on).
