I'm thinking about using "balance-alb" channel bonding on a
medium-to-large Linux cluster; does anyone have experience with this?
It seems that it might generate a lot of arp replies if a switch
fails.

You do have fiber cables that goes +100m with IB DDR, and should not be
expensive. They have active component, and the adapters and switch you
mention have support for those active or fiber cables already. Feel free
to let me know if you need more info, or contacts for the cable vendors.

I disagree. Sometimes this is true, and sometimes it is not.
The CPU cost is a fractional element of the total cost.
