Forgot to mention that with newer drivers (1.2.37 (stock) and 1.2.38 (new from Intel support page)) I had a situation where I turned on STP on my vmbr10 Linux bridge, VM had connectivity for about 10-20 seconds and then it all failed again.

I dont want to shout before the night, but it seems that the link is working!

I have downgraded drivers to
driver: i40e
version: 1.1.23
As my coworker set up a new environment with Ubuntu and run different kvm's there and it worked, I saw that there was a difference between driver versions. Ubuntu was using
driver: i40e
version: 0.3.36-k
So, somehow I thought that why not try to downgrade.

Got a little bit further

Turned on stp for this vmbr and now VM gets traffic for about 10-15 seconds and then no packet flow again.

Note that packets are going from VM to (for example) DHCP server, but they will get lost on their way back. They will arrive at the eth5 and vmbr, but not to tap, which is connected to the VM by qemu.

Tried to upgrade Intel X710 firmware as well, no luck there. Not to mention the drivers small upgrade which I already did yesterday.

Thanks for the tip, but this was not the case.

What does tcpdump disclose running on host and in VM?

On host tcpdump -i vmbr10
Coworker did a lot of tcpdumps during the day and it appears the VM tap device is not getting ARPs back. I mean this tap device what qemu brings up/makes.

A long shot. Try to disable hardware checksum offload since it is know
to cause problems in virtualized environments.
You can try with ethtool before making permanent changes: ethtool -K
eth5 tx off

If that works you could add it permanently to udev:

Create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/81-bridge.rules
With the following content:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", NAME=="vmbr*", RUN+="/sbin/ethtool -K
$env{INTERFACE} tx off"
