I'm not seeing anything obvious in the network stack with a quick skim, but before we start relying on the property that interface indicies are not globally unique I expect an good hard look at the networking stack to see if any of those cases where there were problems still exist.
Just an idea -- is it worth moving the possibility to have ifindidces intersect under CONFIG_<SOMETHING> (EXPERT/CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) to let wider audience check the code in real-life?
