I have AT&T internet, and the BGW-210 gateway with the latest firmware. And my area was upgraded to native dual stack ipv6 about a year ago. So I tested it out and the ipv6 CloudFlare DNS (2606:4700:4700::1111 , 2606:4700:4700::1001) works perfectly fine. https://imgur.com/a/grUzeDD Its only the ipv4 1.1.1.1 that dose not. And AT&T made a statement why that is.

""With the recent launch of Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service, we have discovered an unintentional gateway IP address conflict with 1 of their 4 usable IPs and are working to resolve the issue,"

A few of you will be disappointed to know its not a evil attempt to block you from using it. Same way they have literally never blocked the ability to use any other DNS service before.It's simply a bug caused by the way the BGW-210, and Pace 5268AC operate and make use of 1.1.1.1 internally in some way and it will be fixed with a firmware update.
