Netplan/NetworkManager not using dhclient at boot

I would like to use dhclient as my DHCP client, and as systemd-networkd does not support this, I would like to switch to Network Manager in Ubuntu 22.04.

My Netplan configuration is as follows:

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager
  ethernets:
    enp0s6:
      critical: true
      nameservers:
        addresses:
        - 169.254.169.254
        search:
        - vcn38927584.oraclevcn.com
      dhcp-identifier: "mac"
      dhcp4: true
      dhcp6: true

And I have instructed Network Manager to use dhclient:

:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dhcp-client.conf
[main]
dhcp=dhclient

The issue is that I am not getting an IPv6 address from dhclient after reboot until I manually apply the Netplan settings:

:~$ ping -6 google.com
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

:~$ sudo netplan apply

:~$ ping -6 google.com

Why isn't Netplan/NetworkManager using dhclient at boot?

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.
