What does this link look like? Is it a point-to-point link? If so, then RAs
are equivalent to DHCPv6 because they are effectively unicasted to a single
client. As for security, basic DHCPv6 doesn't usually provide security
either. And if the link is wireless, I would hope it does encryption
already?

It's perfectly possible to do this with RAs. The Framed-IPv6-prefix option
was defined in 2001. When I looked at it as far back as 2010, common
implementations (e.g., Juniper) were perfectly capable of create dynamic
VLANs and configure RA parameters based on radius attributes.
