LOL. We have been testing this (bonding *and* vlans).
Once you understand how it works it makes sense, but you need to understand it first and most people researching this are probably used to the fantastic vmware tooling that keeps it all hidden.
One of the environments I built a year or so back needed this - 8 interfaces in LACP bonds per system with around 10-12 VLANs (( forget specifically) on top of this and then bridged through to VMs ...
As you say - take it one layer at a time and it's simple enough... but demoing the setup to people initially left them a little lost following the various config files.
