I don't quite get it. Are you saying, ovn-controller on compute
node ignores the rule because those ports are not all bound on that
chassis? The gw_port and svc_port are not bound to any chassis by
any ovn-controller.

If that's true, I'd say it's a bug. gw_port and svc_port exist on
all chassis who has VM launched on that logical switch.
ovn-controller on those chassis should not ignore the ACL.
Otherwise, those ports can't be used in ACL at all.

I thought about that. If I have 5K such networks, I will need 5K
logical routers, also 5K routes on underlay physical router pointing
to those logical routers. Without enabling BGP (I haven't tried
Neutron BGP agent), it's going to be 5K static routes on underlay
router. That's why I make a choice in the middle between one router
for all networks and one router for each network.

I'd like to drop the packet as early as possible to get better
performance. How much difference between dropping packet on ingress
pipeline vs. egress pipeline? If not much, I am fine to add ACL on
egress pipeline.

Will give it a try.
