I don't think this is guaranteed to fail, at least not for CoAP clients.
At least one CoRE document (RFC9176) has talked about link-local address
in web links (and thus URLs) specifically, and taken a
split-horizon-like view: As long as the request is made through a
link-local address, the server *can* represent link-local addresses as
long as it learned them on the same interface.
