I am positive. I guess the same applies to Linux bridge based vlans. I
am willing to give it a try.

According to Alexandre's post much of this is coming in ovs 2.4 which
should be available at the time of the release of Proxmox 4.0.

IMHO ovs is superior for two reasons:
1) vlans are linked to ports and not to bridges
2) it more closely resembles the physical world which means simpler to
grasp

PS. what is limited bond modes?
