And that is the fault of the Raspberry PI.  There is zero reason for

It could have a initial configuration that is just

    permit <local-prefixes>/64 any port 22
    deny any any port 22

It’s very hard to configure a Raspberry PI using Cisco’s filter language.

I don’t know of any case where this will work.

So you are going to argue about firewall configuration language
rather than the concept which was viable in host firewalls I've
used for over a decade.

You can do the same thing with all firewalls even if it requires a
piece of software to listen to interfaces being configured are
rewriting the firewalls as they are being brought up.

I develope software that does just this at the application level.
It is not rocket science.  Just listen to the routing interface and
adjust the acls as interfaces come and go.
