I don't believe that's the case. Typically that stuff is dependent on
if the _network_ (any network) is up or not, NOT what _kind_ of network
it is. The problem is determining what runs (and when) based on network
status is driven by the spectacularly over-complicated and broken
systemd crapola. There might be something in there that breaks in these
cases. It sure as h*ll wouldn't be the first time systemd was hosed or
had race conditions.

Using NM for anything headless is a bad idea. Using NM and DHCP for a
headless unit is a REALLY bad idea. NM, DHCP and wireless for a
headless unit is bordering on insanity. That's just my opinion, but I
do manage a data center with about 300 servers and since I don't have
time (nor the desire) to debug NM-related issues, I don't permit NM on
them. We only use the old, reliable network script stuff. It's like an
old VW Beetle...slow, ugly, noisy and smelly, but seems to always run.

It's all worked out in the end. Laptop and NUC use wireless for
internet only, and smb.conf and sshd_config restrict listening to the
wired network.
The biggest confusion was due to the F24 NetworkManger "Apply" bug.
That took hours to discover. And then the next most confusing one,
which was maybe 10 minutes worth was that the router had decided to
hand out a new ip right at the same time I made the changes on the F23
server. So now all the wired stuff is static.
