Before we go on too much of a wild goose chase, can you confirm that
you do actually use Network Manager to set up your networking?
I do not use N-M anywhere where I have felt a need to modify its
behaviour, but I understand that you can use "nmcli" to disable the
privacy addresses:

Personally I find privacy addresses a useful feature, so in your
position I would continue using them but also add static IPv6
addresses that are used for well-known services. So I'd have the
best of both worlds: outbound connections using unpredictable source
address, but known address for inbound connections.
Cheers,
Andy
