ServerAliveInterval 25CGNAT is for access to legacy IPv4 only.
For some reason, OpenSSH devs refuse to fix this issue, so I have to patch it myself:

The largest IPv6 deployments in the world are mobile carriers, which are full of stateful firewalls, DPI, and mid-path translation. The difference is that when connections drop it gets blamed on the wireless rather than the network infrastructure.
Also, fun fact: net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_* applies to IPv6 too. The "ipv4" is just a naming artifact.
