Sorry for replying to this ancient thread. There was some remaining issue that I don't think the initial net_failover patch got addressed cleanly, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1815268 The renaming of 'eth0' to 'ens4' fails because the udev userspace was not specifically writtten for such kernel automatic enslavement. Specifically, if it is a bond or team, the slave would typically get renamed *before* virtual device gets created, that's what udev can control (without getting netdev opened early by the other part of kernel) and other userspace components for e.g. initramfs, init-scripts can coordinate well in between. The in-kernel auto-enslavement of net_failover breaks this userspace convention, which don't provides a solution if user care about consistent naming on the slave netdevs specifically. Previously this issue had been specifically called out when IFF_HIDDEN and the 1-netdev was proposed, but no one gives out a solution to this problem ever since. Please share your mind how to proceed and solve this userspace issue if netdev does not welcome a 1-netdev model.
