Yes, it's legal, but discouraged. Please see RFC 9229 Section 2.1:
If the outgoing interface has been assigned an IPv4 address, then, in
the interest of maximising compatibility with existing routers, the
sender SHOULD prefer an ordinary IPv4 announcement; even in that
case, however, it MAY send a v4-via-v6 announcement.
