So this would be e.g. Pacemaker? Also such a setup is considered a SPOF right?

No. HAProxy does not care if the systems are on the same subnet. Whatever you
are using for VIP failover probably will though.
Most people use bonded interfaces and multiple switches. Nothing to
do with HAProxy.

is there a requirement that the 2 linux machines be connected to
the same hub for load balancing/forwarding to succeed? If yes,
isn't this a single point of failure? If not, what is the
standard setup for what I describe?
