Thank you very much for the reply, Kirill.

I already tested something similar in my previous attempts with flags
and link, but it also didn't work.
Here's how it behaves, when I use the exact command you've advised. I
removed all previous IPV6 addresses and flushed all routes before
testing.
$ ifconfig vio0 inet6 2001:db8:efef:aaaa:d9e:18d2:b761:0/121
$ route add -inet6 2001:db8:efef::1 -llinfo -link -static -iface vio0
add host 2001:db8:efef::1: gateway vio0
$ route -n show -inet6

$ ping6 2001:db8:efef::1
PING 2001:db8:efef::1 (2001:db8:efef::1): 56 data bytes
ping6: sendmsg: Invalid argument
ping: wrote 2001:db8:efef::1 64 chars, ret=-1
At this point 2001:db8:efef::1 is inaccessible with normal ping, so it
shouldn't work as a default gateway.
But nevertheless I've tried that.
$ route add -inet6 default 2001:db8:efef::1
add net default: gateway 2a02:25b0:aaaa::1
$ ping6 www.google.com
PING www.google.com (2a00:1450:4014:80a::2004): 56 data bytes
ping6: sendmsg: Invalid argument
ping: wrote www.google.com 64 chars, ret=-1
So unfortunately adding a route this way also doesn't work.
Thank you,
Michal
