Isn't the whole bridge-netfilter concept already a layering violation by
design ?

Because without bridge, the host is attached at the IP layer level to
the VLANs, so their IP ranges are not supposed to overlap.

Anyway your objection applies to hosts with multiple bridges without
VLAN so the bridges may see overlapping IP ranges. Conntrack zones with
a dedicated target seems a more generic approach.
