So, this is all outlined in RFC7084 (replacing RFC6204), and post-CC
OpenWRT/LEDE do a very good job of doing exactly what you describe.

Also, the HOMENET WG has done work to make this work when you have multiple
uplinks, and multiple routers with-in the "home", and do this in a zerotouch
way.

There are many opportunities to contribute to this effort.
