Please find attached all the info you requested.  Hope it helps.

Also, here's the nft script I'm using to trigger the issue locally:

#!/usr/sbin/nft -f

flush ruleset

table inet filter {
	chain input {
		type filter hook input priority 0;
		iif lo accept
		ct state established,related accept
		tcp dport { 22 } ct state new accept
		ip6 nexthdr icmpv6 icmpv6 type { nd-neighbor-solicit,  nd-router-advert, nd-neighbor-advert } accept
		counter drop
	}
}
