After reading some of your work on end-to-end multihoming, I think I understand some of what you're trying to say. My problem is that while you seem to have a very strong academic understanding of networking, you seem to be ignoring operational realities in implementation.
To your surprise, my opinion is partially based on my experience about 10 years ago as a CTO of a commercial ISP, which offered secure public WLAN service with IP moblity.
Security and mobility stacks were implemented on BSD and Windows.
We successfully performed smooth handover experiment at a racing circuit with a car moving at 260km/h.

which is why I know delay caused by SLAAC is annoying.
Though no commercial IPv6 service was offered, we received government funding and implemented end to end multihoming with mobility over IPv6 without ND. Public trial was offered:
