​I would argue this to be a non issue. Most developers will only run single
node setups anyway.
If they setup multiple nodes connected with a switch that happens not to be
VLAN aware, it will
most likely still be VLAN transparent at the same time, so things still
will just work. This
also includes the propably most common case of multiple qemu instances
connected via a Linuxbridge
device on the host.

​IMHO "adding ... trick" and "​make simpler" is incompatible with each
other.
