So, managed networks tend to like DHCPv6 (DNS!), and wonder how they

Probably they don't.
I'm working with one enterprise right now, and one of the options on
the table is "have a separate wifi segment for android with SLAAC,
and use the NAC software in place to bump android devices to that
subnet".
Which is a major PITA...
(What they *want* is "IPAM shows what IPv6 address is in use on which
device in the network", which DHCPv6 would do nicely, including
static assignments via DHCP reservations - while everything else
relies on "IPv6/MAC ND logging on the router" or other disintegrated
fumbling...)
IMO, the work of folks doing standardization should be to provide the
tools such that folks running networks can pick whatever they feel fits
best.
IPv6 automatic configuration is kind of a mess (an artifact of history
and religious battle). That's what folks like myself respond when asked
what's the rationale for what we have.
Thanks,
