I believe I am affected by this issue as well. I have a Google WiFi
device as a router, and everything works well for the first few days,
with the link-local address used on the Google WiFi's RA used as the
IPv6 default route.

After a couple of days however, the Google WiFi device changes its link-
local address (for some reason) on the LAN subnet, and although an RA
goes out with this new link-local address, NetworkManager still hangs
onto the old default route (which is marked "static" as well) and as
such I lose IPv6 connectivity to the outside world. I have to run "nmcli
conn up Ethernet" to force NM to delete the old default route and use a
the new one.

Also, if I manually "ip -6 replace default ..." leaving the line
otherwise intact as it comes from NM, changing only "proto static" to
"proto ra", as soon as the Google WiFi sends another RA, NM re-writes
the default as "proto static"- yet does NOT update the actual "via"
link-local address to the one the RA came in on.
