I may just be over-thinking this but I have a scenario that I can configure manually but have not been able to figure out how to amend the networkd configuration to match!

Note: 'via' required to prevent failed neighbour solicitations for external addresses.
The issue is I cannot see how to achieve both 'default' and 'via' in .network
ROUTE section (when specifying a routing table).
I see recommendations to use `Gateway=::` as an alias for 'default' but that prevents
setting the next-hop router address explicitly, which results in failure due to neighbour
solicitation.
No; `default` has nothing to do with the gateway field. It's an alias for the route destination network field, specifically ::/0 for IPv6 or 0.0.0.0/0 for IPv6.
What you have is a completely standard IPv6 default route, regardless of which table it's in:
[Route]
Destination=::/0
Gateway=fe80::1
