I'm afraid mac-vlans is not a solution here. Having 2x more interfaces (ex. 2000 instead of 1000) makes everything (especially routing, firewalling and QoS) much more complicated. It would be nice to have something like "ip addr add a.b.c.d/24 dev vlan32 hwaddress aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff".
I'll take your word for it, though I have had good luck using mac-vlans in my own app. They are nice because the are full-fledged interfaces, so you can treat them basically as .1q vlans or ethernet devices, including all the routing and firewalling tricks.
BTW: is it possible to stack mac-vlans ontop of .1Q vlans?
I believe it will work fine. You could probably also stack .1q VLANs on top of mac-vlans so long as you use the same MAC for the VLANs as for the mac-vlan dev.
