I know it's been done before, but one caveat is that the wifi driver and the supplicant have to correctly support setting the WiFi device's MAC address since bonding requires they have the same one. That's been a problem in the past and required fixes to the supplicant and drivers. But yeah, I'm sure we'd take patches fixing anything on the NM side.
