I am in a similar situation (pppoe sessions restarts, although my IP addresses do not change), and I needed to re-add the default IPv6 route after completion of IPv6CP. Note that there are several layers involved (link, IPv4, IPv6), I would guess that for pppoe "link is up" would mean LCP succeeded, which is before you get a new IP. For this reason I put together a small ad-hoc tool that monitors the addition of a new route, which occurs just after IPv6CP succeeds. See https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=158834859429490&w=2 You could probably modify it to do what you need, using the monitor option of route(8) to guess what event you want to trigger the execution of your script. In fact it should be simpler.
If you manage to use ifstated(8) reliably, please let me know.
