And, having such DHCP servers, there is no role of RA for stateless (nor stateful) autoconfiguration, which is why IPv6 with ND is broken. The remaining problem is configuration on how to let the DHCP server in SOHO router get the info and the solution should be related to anycast. DNS server with anycast addresses does not neet intermediate DHCP.
