LACP Problem with DELL R760 Server and 2 Network Cards

Hello,
we have a strange problem with the Proxmox server. We have DELL R760 servers with 4 x 25 GbE onboard cards (Broadcom) and an additional 2 x 25 GbE AddOn PCI card (Broadcom). A LACP Bond 802.3ad has been set up. The bond is stable. However, if we fetch data via this channel from a VM from the Internet or another data source, the connection can be slow at first, e.g. if you do an SCP or WGET. If you call the command several times, the connection is suddenly fast.

The bond consists of one port of the onboard card and one port of the add-on card. If we convert the bond and take both ports of the bond from one card, the problem does not occur. The connection is always fast.
Are there any known problems when building bonds with two different network cards?

Does everyone have any ideas?
 
We are using both integrated + addon network card for one LACP without problem on our Dell/Supermicro 10G setups.
 
PVE-Version? Kernel-Version? Maybe there are problems with the driver or LACP-Mode in switch is different from what is set in Proxmox?
