The good news is one  'ifconfig'  just tells them  what   network
address you're in.
Unless the attacker can gain access to your host's  NDP table or ARP
table,  they can't see what IPs are in use.

You're  Global or whatever /64   has   ~18446744073709551615
possible IP addresses.

If you want your addressing assignments to be "obscure",
generate a  random  interface ID,  and use that to assign your IPv6
addresses within your public /64,  or just use stateless autoconfig.
