Are there any concerns about this approach?

Yes. You should fix the NAPI code instead of trying to work
around it.

NAPI is being fixed but the fix will take time to get in. In the
meantime, the solution to get something working is the workaround

If it works right now with just a little less efficiency there
is no pressing need to do workarounds until the real solution.

Besides I doubt that patch would have made .21 anyways and in .22
you might already have multiqueue NAPI.
