Is SAF vendor locking their SFP cages? If not, then you don't need to
use their SFPs. But I guess from a support perspective, you'd probably
want to use their SFP in their radios, so they can't blame the optic.
But then they'll just blame the fiber or terminations or gear at the
other end. It's always your fault, or someone else. Not saying that
about SAF, just vendors in general.
If you're asking if you need the same module on the other side (in the
MikroTik or whatever), no.
Here's the MikroTik branded equivalent if that's what you want:

I've used over a hundred of these the past couple years with no
failures. In MikroTik's and various switches.
https://www.fs.com/products/29849.html They're cheap enough to have lots
of spares.
I've done LACP on MikroTik just fine. It's in software, but I'd think
that 1072 should be able to handle it. I don't see anything wrong going
the switch route other than possibly buffer issues. If the switch can't
handle the radios dumping their ethernet buffers, then you're not gonna
have a good time. That's purely speculation on my part, but something
you should keep in mind.

we are quoted I0AOM001 - N on an integra link. I dont see this module
listed on the mikrotik compatibility chart. Has anybody here used them
with the ccr1072?
I apparently need to do LACP bonding as well. Im debating on whether
to do this in our procurve switches (which seem compatible with
everything) or to do it in the router directly
Never done it so i dont know if its a good idea to combine mikrotik
quirks with unknown compatible modules with a technique Ive never done
