Ah, actually it looks like I was wrong about the NIC with "stable privacy" mode.  Per this document:

"Also, the address is stable when the network interface hardware is replaced."

Interesting, thanks everyone. Based on the above Im going to simply create AAAA records for servers I want to access by name and see if after 1 year any ipv6 addresses changed. If they did I will just statically assign them an ipv6 address. This is very easy to do anyway. I would probably  just statically assign them going forward but want to see if they ever change out of interest.

One more question, if I follow this guide: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dnsmasq.html#configuration-examples

And enable slaac in Services ‣ Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP ‣ General - must I then disable Router advertisements on that interface under Services ‣ Router Advertisements? Are these 2 services in conflict?
