an alternative for ssh-agent is to just run it statically as a service
with one location:

ssh-agent.service:
====
[Unit]
Description=SSH key agent

[Service]
Type=forking
Restart-on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -a %t/ssh-agent

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
====

you'll have to run systemd --user with the following environment set
in the user-session at .service

>>>
Environment=SSH_AUTH_SOCK=%t/ssh-agent
<<<

that way, the agent should work at all times under a user session.
