Actually no. He'd likely need DHCP-PD on the WAN side to get the prefix from the ISP, but if you're running SLAAC on the LAN side there's no need for DHCPv6 unless you want to hand out some server addresses. Even the DNS server address is handled by RDNSS as part of the router advertisements.
Actually, I do use DNS now to hand out some server addresses, including a local network printer. Is DHCP-PD a part of DHCPv6? Would I disable SLAAC if DHCPv6 is running?
and also how to test the configs for proper security. I'm sure I could figure it all out, but at this point in time, why bother? Because it's fun. Same reason I taught myself morse code almost 40 years ago for my radio amateur's license. Because it's fun. Actually, configuring the firewall is pretty much the same as for IPv4 and there are IPv6 port scan sites. Here are a couple:

Thanks James, that's good info. I was wondering how I could confirm firewall configs without access to an outside v6 host. As Per suggests, this is fun. Except that I'll have the Fetching Mrs Wolfgang screeching at me if I broke the Internet again...
