systemd-networkd configuration not adding any routes and not finishing configuration

With systemd 241 on Debian 10, I am attempting to configure systemd-networkd style networking for an edge server.

The problem I have is that when systemd-networkd starts up, it does not add the v4 or v6 routes but reports that it still is in the "configuring" state:

IDX LINK             TYPE               OPERATIONAL SETUP
  1 lo               loopback           carrier     unmanaged
  2 eth0             ether              carrier     configuring
  3 eth1             ether              carrier     configuring
  6 docker0          bridge             routable    unmanaged
  8 veth9a70b3d      ether              degraded    unmanaged
 32 ext              bond               routable    configuring
 33 int              vlan               routable    configured

Here are debug logs from networkd startup:

Turns out it was this:

[Address]
Address=192.0.2.217/32
PreferredLifetime=0

Specifying PreferredLifetime for an IPv4 address causes networkd to wedge.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
