Different person here, but no. I never write firewall rules based on individual source addresses. They’re too easy to fake. And with IPv6’s privacy extensions, you never know what source address a given machine will have anyway.

Interesting. How do you deal with destination addresses on your local network? DHCPv6 like the other poster and myself?
I haven’t had a need for DHCPv6. I’d use DNS (or better, mDNS) to assign a hostname to the destination’s fixed IPv6 address or ULA, both of which are static. I don’t ever manually assign an IPv6 address to a host, though. I just let SLAAC do the thing it was designed for.
