No :)

Simply, let dhcpcd manage your interfaces by starting it as a single
daemon. You use gentoo, so simply `rc-update add dhcpcd`, and remove all
net.* scripts apart from net.lo. Although that requires that you are
using OpenRC as baselayout-1 does not support init script templates,
which dhcpcd uses.

dhcpcd can monitor the interface for the assigned IP and destination
addresses manage the default route accordingly. It will even assign
correct metrics, which you an also manually adjust if you desire. There
is no actual need to call dhcpcd after the l2tp connection is made.
