One could argue that it shrinks failure domains somewhat but the
bundle/lacp resiliency (mentioned above) largely mitigates this..

Perhaps outside the OP's scope but I'd hope whatever the circumstances of
using a switch for port density on a router, there should always be a
redundant router/setup teamed with it ;)

Cheers,
Matt
