FWIW, I agree with your pov

BTW, my read of the religious wars in this area is that:

* Some guys say do not include more info in SLAAC -- if you need
additional info such as DNS, you should be doing DHCPv6.

* Other guys (anti-DHCPv6?) say "DHCPv6 should not be able to convey all
the necessary information.. e.g., routs should be handled with RAs
rather than DHCPv6".

The result of both factions is that, at the end of the day, you need to
support both protocols even for simple auto-configuration stuff.

My take is that both autconf mechanisms should be able to handle at
least basic configuration stuff (addresses, DNS, and routes), and then
it should be up to the admin which one to use.
