VRRPv6 however is relevant to static environments and also needs to
(optionally) work with RA turned off.

Ah yes, another tagent, but absolutely.  VRRPv6 is needed not only
because you may want to go 100% static, but also because VRRP can
do things like tracking upstream interfaces that RA cannot do.
