I have multiple Debian jessie Linode VMs each of which has multiple
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured in /etc/network/interfaces, and
they work fine.

systemd-networkd is meant to ignore interfaces defined in
/etc/network/interfaces as long as ifupdown is installed.

I think you should probably show us your /etc/network/interfaces
file.

Also note that there is an option "Auto-configure Networking" under
the Linode configuration profile for each Linode that defaults to
Yes, and I think that interferes. All mine are set to No, there.

Cheers,
Andy
