An excellent news. Let's hope that Debian continues to behave this way.

So, in plain English, you have ifupdown installed.

And it should not. ifupdown provides networking service, and
"daemon-reload" forces systemd to re-read own config only, not to
restart services.

"networking restart" invokes "ifdown" first, and "ifup" next.
And systemd restarts most of the network services by dependency.
The problem is - once they invoke ifdown, there's no network connection
to invoke "ifup", hence you have no network-listening services.

Do it from BMC/ILOM/HMC (it's not a server if it does not have one), or
install screen/tmux and do it from there.

Please leave these Finely Designed Executables™ to a desktop
installation.

ifdown/ifup combo should be sufficient. Just don't do it via plain ssh
connection.

ifup/ifdown have their own special way to track which interface was
touched by them. ifup will rightfully refuse to bring network interface
UP if it considers that it's UP already.

You mean, two new IPv6 ips? Can you provide a 'correct' and a 'broken'
example via 'ip a l' please?
And, while we're at it, the contents of /etc/network/interfaces?

Short of the last part everything else can be classified as an
operator's error, or a lack of knowledge.
