The things on your LAN that you're connecting to via DNS and IP, which cause the desire to have stable LAN IPs in the first place.

That's what DNS is for... to not need to remember or know numerical addresses.

And DNS is easier to set up if the IP doesn't change constantly.
This conversation is going in circles.

If you're doing your DNS properly it's not really that difficult. If you're statically definining all your DNS you're doing it wrong.

Okay, how do I properly set DNS so it tracks the changing public addresses of my desktop and printer? And I'd better still be able to use SLAAC.

You register addresses based on Router/Neighbor Advertisements in NDP. In your RA, you'd point it to your DNS server, which would then handle registration when hosts check in with their new IP addresses.
