Let us have a vote - how many of us do teaming/bonding/vlans on our servers? Our networking gear does that in our installation.
The majority of my servers are virtual, if I need multiple subnets (VLANs) then I have multiple cards. Their throughput does not require bonding, resiliency is performed at a different level - by having multiple load balanced VMs.
I have to admit, on one hypervisor I use VLANs, but actually use NetworkManager in that case - and it worked since installation, if I have a problem with it in the future though, I will resort to scripting it as well :-) - It would be the simplest way for me to resolve the issue - I can't afford to wait for patches to a monolithic, as you say, black-box system, which is in effect just trying to apply sanity checking a bunch of scripts in the first place.
I don't add VLANs and Bonds on my servers for _fun_, they are there to run the applications and infrastructure - faffing around with that once a server is in production is just asking for trouble.
