While this constraint must be true for the current XFRM (it does not understand that Link-Local addresses must have an interface associated with them), the enforcement of the constraint should be removed when XFRM is updated and this problem is fixed.  IPsec tunnels with LL endpoints are *required* by the ANIMA RFCs (specifically RFC 8994, Section 6.8.3.1).  Perhaps what is needed here is a configuration option.

RFC8994 says:

6.8.3.1.  Native IPsec

   An ACP node that is supporting native IPsec MUST use IPsec in tunnel
   mode, negotiated via IKEv2, and with IPv6 payload (e.g., ESP Next
   Header of 41).  It MUST use local and peer link-local IPv6 addresses
   for encapsulation.  Manual keying MUST NOT be used, see Section 6.2.
   Traffic Selectors are:

   TSi = (0, 0-65535, :: - FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF)
   TSr = (0, 0-65535, :: - FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF)

   IPsec tunnel mode is required because the ACP will route and/or
   forward packets received from any other ACP node across the ACP
   secure channels, and not only its own generated ACP packets.  With
   IPsec transport mode (and no additional encapsulation header in the
   ESP payload), it would only be possible to send packets originated by
   the ACP node itself because the IPv6 addresses of the ESP must be the
   same as that of the outer IPv6 header.
