I don't think PD in NetworkManager with ipv6.method=shared works at all.
(which might be the reason why there isn't much documentation)

I've tried various things (reported here
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2018-June/msg00013.html)
but never managed to get it to work, while dhclient 4.2.5 accepts PD
just fine (don't even need wide-dhcpd, though that one works as well).
