I'm curious, do you know of a consumer-grade router which supports
DHCPv6-PD?

I have tested a whole bunch of them more than a year ago. I can
remember
seeing IPv6 DHCPv6-PD client support on gear from AVM Fritz!box,
D-Link,
Draytek, Zyxel, Linksys, Asus, Thompson/Technicolor and I must be
forgetting a few as well. Most of them weren't very advanced, but
they
worked to get IPv6 connectivity in the house. What I am missing these
days is DHCPv6-PD server support to re-delegate parts of the prefix
it
got from the ISP downstream to other home routers. As far as I know
AVM
Fritz!box is the only one that does that today.

And the need for it was obvious when all the other boxes were being
developed.  Daisy chaining routers has been part of home setups for
many, many years if only to get configuration control because the
ISP router is not configurable enough.  There was no reason to think
that this would change with IPv6.

Cheers,
Sander
