I think it would cause some issues. I'm not able to exactly recall why, but I've seen similar behavior and it is recommended that the same controller which is actively handling the gateway traffic also handles the external ports. Maybe there is mac flapping of the router port ips. That could be the issue. You can perhaps arp for the router ip from your bare metal machine and see if you get 2 arp replies - one from the controller which binds the external port and one from the gateway chassis controller.
