Now, this is really offtopic on this list, but i feel that you might
have missed how flexible the debian ifupdown approach is. For all the
setup it uses scripts which can be changed or extended and you can
add your own scripts to do all kind of fancy stuff.
See for example the bridge-utils package which adds new keywords. You
might also want to see ifupdown-extra or ifupdown-scripts-zg2 to get
a feeling how easily you can create very complicated yet flebile
setups.
I haven't played with ipv6 for some years, but i'm sure that your
problems can be fixed without much work. For starters i would try
something like this:
interface foo inet6 manual
pre-up ifconfig foo up
For the missing routes: Now i feel that when doing autoconfigure,
all routes should be setup by the autoconfigure process.

In my test setup i used macvlan and i can connect to the container from
the host. I remember having seen that this was a problem with older
kernel versions and was fixed some time ago.

On debian they are trivial as well btw.
