You really, really want to allow ICMPv6. Without ICMPv6 critical things
like path MTU (remember, there’s no router fragmentation in IPv6, you
*need* path MTU discovery) and router advertisements.

It’s still possible to filter out undesirable ICMPv6 types, but I’d start
out just allowing everything.

I’ve not looked at the rest of it in any depth, but the ICMPv6 thing probably
explains all of the IPv6 issues you’ve had.
