Some parts you can do now by simply omitting the options from dhcpcd.conf.
Some parts you cannot do without changing the code, such as MAC randomisation. I'm not sure that's something dhcpcd itself should be doing.

I plan to add an anonymous option which will override any configured options set to make it easy.

It seems like the only DHCP client software which implements the RFC 7844 right now is [https://github.com/juga0/dhcpcanon] but I'm not sure about it.

I don't like to comment on the suitability of other DHCP clients.
People should make their own decisions about what they need.
