Yes. That's because some of a PIM-SM protocol message
(PIM-Register/Register-Stop) requires a global unicast address.
#In some cases PIM-Register/Register-Stop is not used. As it is

Please specify the following command in your pim6sd.conf, where xxx is
the interface name you want to disable PIM-SM.
phyint xxx disable;
Thanks.
