After reading some more I see how using subnet-router anycast works.
The anycast address is global in scope so the end host will only learn
1 potential next hop at a time (the routers randomize a delay when
responding to ND for a subnet-router anycast), and perform NUD as
needed to determine if their current router is up or down (RFC4861).
So you can get failover with no FHRP by using subnet-router anycast.
You just won't get sub-second failover.
