I do networking too so maybe I can accomplish it but one of the things I wanted to do with Proxmox was use the capability of distributed virtual switches across nodes in my cluster. What I see in Proxmox is the ability to add bridges via OVS but they don't seem to have a higher-level abstraction across the multiple nodes. It looks like OVN can be that abstraction and communicate between the clustered nodes, but I'm not completely sure how it works.
Currently I don't have a managed switch behind my cluster so no VLANs, and only a single interface per node so I can't solve it with individual interface mappings. If OVN can handle that abstraction and still transport over my existing link and interface with the OVS bridge that would be great and solve my issue.
I know you're using lxd instead of Proxmox so it's not exactly apples-to-apples but I was hoping what you're doing is conceptually compatible with what I am looking to do.

@train @projectdp Nice, I use LXC containers as well (on #Proxmox). Also have #Caddy as my reverse proxy, I'll have to take a look at #OVN, looks interesting.

leaves a seed of an idea (a mudball) on a #Sensorica #OVN venture... & and really enjoyed doing this act of #Stigmergy :).
