Hi,

I think that this may be true that networking-ovn will not work properly
with other drivers.
I don't think it was tested at any time.
Also the problem may be that when You are using networking-ovn than whole
neutron topology is different. There are different agents for example.

Please open a bug for that for networking-ovn. I think that networking-ovn team
will take a look into that.
