Multiple unwanted default routes being added automatically

How do I prevent default routes from being added automatically?

The default route that actually ends up being used breaks internet connectivity.

I would expect to only have:

Code:
default via 10.55.47.1 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink
10.55.47.0/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.55.47.5

But I am getting this:

Code:
root@spock:~# ip route
0.0.0.0 dev enp129s0f0 scope link
default dev enp129s0f0 scope link
default via 10.55.47.1 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink
10.55.47.0/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.55.47.5
169.254.0.0/16 dev enx9af1a47b7437 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.29.60
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp129s0f0 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.147.7

root@spock:~# systemctl restart networking

root@spock:~# ip r
default via 10.55.47.1 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink
10.55.47.0/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.55.47.5
169.254.0.0/16 dev enx9af1a47b7437 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.29.60

root@spock:~# sleep 20

root@spock:~# ip r
0.0.0.0 dev enp129s0f0 scope link
default dev enp129s0f0 scope link
default via 10.55.47.1 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink
10.55.47.0/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.55.47.5
169.254.0.0/16 dev enx9af1a47b7437 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.29.60
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp129s0f0 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.21.87

Code:
root@spock:~# pveversion 
pve-manager/8.2.4/faa83925c9641325 (running kernel: 6.8.12-1-pve)

Code:
root@spock:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
