So as of right now, this is in effect on Kernel 4.12.4-1.g2a27bf2-default on OpenSUSE 42.3 (Using the Kernel:stable branch because some other apps require it) on every system with a vswitch called lan attached to a vswitch called br0 where the vswitch lan is the main access point to the rest of the network. I haven't tried any other configurations. That said, the only temporary solution I've found is to have a systemd timer trigger a gratuitious arp every minute or so, so that anybody *waiting* for an arp response will get notified where the host is and be able to finish the mount, ping, etc. when the gratuitous arp comes in.
