I can't run SLAAC and DHCPv6 at the same time without giving devices multiple addresses, and Android doesn't support DHCPv6, so I'd have to carve out a separate, SLAAC-based, android-only network. And then figure out firewall rules, multicast reflection, etc.

Why is giving multiple addresses a problem?

I thought this was a problem too. Then I realized that addresses are not in short supply, so I stopped caring that some devices get multiple addresses. The ones I care about are handed out over DHCPv6, and the firewall works accordingly. The rest gets basic connectivity and nothing else.

Works great for me.
