Manually configured link local adresses are quite common on routers.
And there is no reason, why it should not work, but having simpler 
addresses on gateways can make some sense.

After all, where is the difference between a random, a RFC7217 stable 
private or manual address?

To emphasise it again: It is not about disabling link local addressing, 
that is not, what the stanza does, it is about optionally disabling 
_auto_configuration.
