Jeffrey, I was unaware that local bias had been standardized. Will take a read..

Extending EVPN to servers don’t require new IETF standards – the servers just need to support existing relevant standards. Having said that, with many servers in the underlay, routing in the underlay needs to be able to scale well. For that you can run BGP in the underlay (RFC 7938), or RIFT (draft-ietf-rift-rift), or LSVR (draft-ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf).

We have been actively testing EV-LAG to accomplish this in the WAN for L2 services.. That being said, we use EVPN/MPLS where MH ( EV-LAG ) is conveyed via labels.. My understanding is that when using EVPN/VXLAN proprietary mechanisms are need to make EV-LAG work.. The is no SH label..

This could eliminate use of MLAG on the leaf switches and eliminate L2 completely from the vxlan fabric thereby maximizing stability.
