question for management port

Good day. Currently using l3 switches in the environment (ubiquity flex switcehs). Trying to setup proxmox with a management port, and a bond. Looking for advice on the best method.
Currently I have 4 network strands going into the proxmox rack server, 2 per vlan. VLAN 50 (mgmt) and VLAN 30 (lab).

My initial thoughts were to have 1 ethernet interface from VLAN 50 to be the IP of the proxmox system. The 2nd interface could be utilized later as a WAN interface if I decide to setup pfsense. The 2 strands from VLAN30 would be setup as a bond (switches don't do lacp).

Now my question would be what is the best way to configure this:

1) configure vmbr0 (vlan 50 strand) for vlan aware, and then add a tagged vlan mgmt IP as say vmbr0.50 and set the proxmox IP
2) have proxmox IP on an ethernet interface, create bond (from 2 x vlan 30), then create a vmbr0 using bond0 as the backing device. This way by default all VMs will function on vlan30.
3) something else

Suspect an issue here for sure. Laid out this configuration from /etc/network/interfaces:

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp6s0f1
iface enp6s0f1 inet manual

auto ens1f1
iface ens1f1 inet manual

auto ens1f0
iface ens1f0 inet static
    address 192.168.50.3/29
    gateway 192.168.50.1

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
    address 192.168.30.2/24
    gateway 192.168.30.1
    bridge-ports bond0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    bridge-vids 2-4094

With a tcpdump I noted this:
Code:

        Domain-Name-Server (6), length 4: 192.168.30.1

note: all the cat cables plugged from server to the switch are on tagged vlans, no untagged vlans are connected to the switch.

Not quite sure why it's trying to get a dhcp lease from the .50 network. As the VM is only configured to have vmbr1 as it's network adapter.
