Honestly, we find it's much easier to spread the load between many switches, and have enough capacity that one switch failure is a non-event. Switches are expensive, it's true. After a certain point it does become less expensive and complex to just add more servers and switches. There's a strong advantage to keeping things as simple as possible. Bonding isn't really complicated, but how many not-complicated things can you add before things become complicated? :-)
