Well, the truth is that NVEs have been assumed to be close to the TS from day one... And one reason is that if you push the NVE out further and further away from the TS, it adds complications. We shouldn't do that unless necessary.
If we are saying that architecturally the TS is separate from the NVE with a network in between (to support implementations like off-loading NVE functionality to a TOR), then the question about multihoming will naturally arise. Today there are physical servers which are multihomed (using techniques like active-standby NIC teaming or active-active multi-chassis LAG), and it would seem odd of the NVO3 architecture were to preclude that.
BTW: I think the subject like is incorrect. It it the TS that is multihomed (to different NVEs) and the subject talks about multihomed NVEs.
