The religiously correct answer is "run DHCP-PD to receive an extra /64
to be used on the 'LAN side' interface".

If that's not available, I think it very much depends on how "ethernet-like"
your wwan0 is, and whether it permits arbitrary MAC addresses, or just a
single one - in that case, brctl or ndp proxy might both work...
