Arch and IPv6
First lets get out of the way the obvious, yes I am running Arch in a server environment. Yes, I'm a stubborn idiot.
So I submitted a ticket about this issue and among a few inquiries was recommended to post here, I've included the steps I've taken thus far as well as output, config files, and commands.
Disable dhcpcd (EDIT: forgot to mention originally)
systemctl stop dhcpcd@enp0s4.service
systemctl disable dhcpcd@enp0s4.service
Remove IP from interface otherwise netctl complains
ip link set enp0s4 down
ip addr delete LINODE_PUB_IPV4 dev enp0s4
Allow for discovery
ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A FORWARD -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT
Use an example as template
cp /etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-static /etc/netctl/enp0s4
/etc/netctl/enp0s4:
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp0s4
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('LINODE_PUBLIC_IPV4/24')
#Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
Gateway='LINODE_PUBLIC_IPV4_GATEWAY'
DNS=('8.8.8.8' '1.1.1.1' '2001:4860:4860::8888' '2606:4700:4700::1111')
## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
IP6=stateless
## For IPv6 static address configuration
#IP6=static
#Address6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
#Routes6=('abcd::1234')
#Gateway6='1234:0:123::abcd'
Bring interface up
netctl start enp0s4
Everything comes back correctly, no issues from the netctl status. Pinging IPv4 works properly. While IPv6 reads the correct IP of my linode however ping -6 returns the following:
ping -6 google.com
PING google.com(2607:f8b0:4002:c00::71 (2607:f8b0:4002:c00::71)) 56 data bytes
--- google.com ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6092ms
Ryan from Linodes support team recommended I run the following commands
netstat -rn -6
Kernel IPv6 routing table
Destination Next Hop Flag Met Ref Use If
::1/128 :: U 256 2 0 lo
2600:3c02::/64 :: UAe 256 1 0 enp0s4
fe80::/64 :: U 256 1 0 enp0s4
::/0 fe80::1 UGDAe 1024 3 0 enp0s4
::1/128 :: Un 0 4 0 lo
ff00::/8 :: U 256 2 0 enp0s4
::/0 :: !n -1 1 0 lo
And
ip -6 route show dev enp0s4
2600:3c02::/64 proto kernel metric 256 expires 2591995sec pref medium
fe80::/64 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via fe80::1 proto ra metric 1024 expires 595sec hoplimit 64 pref medium
Its possible I may jump ship to systemd as Ryan recommended, but for the moment its a matter of my dwindling dignity to figure out what the issue is.
Thanks for your time!

Is dhcpcd running, by chance? If it is, does /etc/dhcpcd.conf contain an uncommented slaac private line? Also check whether the dhcpcd service is enabled and running (I believe it'll be systemctl status dhcpcd@enp0s4).
Comment out any slaac private in /etc/dhcpcd.conf, and disable the dhcpcd service for enp0s4, so it doesn't interfere with netctl.
Ah, I forgot to add that line in the initial post. I had disabled the dhcpcd service before tearing down the interface. For good measure I did try to comment out the slaac private line in /etc/dhcpcd.conf and restarted the netctl instance to no avail, unfortunately.
