You absolutely do not need this policy for load-balancing across a LAG or RETH interface. This happens automatically through hashing across the member interfaces within the bundle. Forwarding-table load-balance export policies only come into play when there are MULTIPLE next-hops for a given route. With a LAG or RETH interface, they all appear to be a single logical interface, therefore there aren't MULTIPLE next-hops but rather only a single next-hop. You can safely remove the export policy with no effect on the RETH interface.
