Enabling sticky connections had no effect in my testing. The only temporary solution was T2747. Unfortunately, this solution no longer works once the IP address changes on a DHCP-assigned interface.

Additionally, sometimes the Peer ID and Local ID are not correctly formatted. for example:

Sure thing. Note my configuration contains some table maps that I have set up to route VPN traffic, and certain source IPs through specific interfaces. But there is no effect on the load-balancer when these sections are removed. Thank you.

I suspect this could be related to displaying a peer with a hostname that contains a dash, such as, "abc-peer12.dyndns.org." Or, possibly a string matching error getting thrown off by "AES_GCM_16_128/MODP_2048"

The IKE SA appears down in your second example?
