I have seen reports of it working. Digging around, I found this:

The suggestion of using ifmetric could be worth trying.
This is linked from comments to this article:

The latter article is written by me. I used bonding on a server that had

Your switch/router doesn't need support for bonding. Not unless you want
it to load balance incoming packets across both interfaces.
