Woot! That appears to have worked. I've waited a while to see if
anything breaks, but it's all working great.

Thank you so much everyone for your help.

/etc/rc.conf
defaultroute="23.173.152.1"

ifconfig_vioif0="
    inet 23.173.152.249 netmask 255.255.255.0
    inet6 2602:fed2:7116:d82c::1 prefixlen 64 alias
    inet6 2602:fed2:7116:d82c::2 prefixlen 64 alias
    !route add -inet6 default 2602:fed2:7116::1 -connected -ifp vioif0
"

using the link local of the gateway works fine as well now
defaultroute6="fe80::da67:d9ff:fe58:3d1b%vioif0"
