Consider the two documents you mentioned,

> RFC  which discusses a failover design
>
> https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-design-04
>
> An RCF for DHCPv6 Failover Protocol
>
> https://github.com/tomaszmrugalski/ietf-dhcpv6-fo/blob/master/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-failover-protocol-00.txt

The first document is published as RFC 7031. The second document is from
March 2015, and is not yet an RFC.

I can't speak for ISC. However, I'm reasonably certain that they won't
be implementing DHCPv6 failover until the protocol design is "stable",
for some value of stable. I don't believe we're quite there yet...
