Do you really need STP? Do you really need STP on that group of ports?
Why not disable it completely.

I have the same, but the systemd.unit restarts conntrackd automatically
if it dies, so there is no problem.
If you use systemd-networkd to control your interfaces, you could enable
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service and have conntrackd depend on
network-online.target to make it start _after_ the network is really
online.
Unfortunately ifupdown got this feature only after the release of
Stretch.
