If you're using connman, then this discussion isn't really relevant for you.
You should let connman manage IPv4/IPv6 details.

In fact, this setting is useless without EnableNetworkConfiguration=True.  And
you should NOT set it if you're using connman.  EnableNetworkConfiguration and
NameResolvingService are only needed if you're running iwd standalone or do not
want to use an external network manager, like NM/connman/networkd, for managing
wifi connections.

That is a question for the connman mailing list.  iwd isn't doing any network
configuration in your case.

Denis,

Got it! Thanks for the clarification.
