Regarding the fact that's a routing decision need, i think its reasonable to
be solved by a routing protocol and also restricted on addressing scheems to
avoid entropy. the summ of simple systems with restrict rules generate a
bigger reliable complex system.

The system must decide wich interface will be used on the packet delivery

the lan. On this decision process, the subnetmask is used to define wich
portion of the network will be found on a specific interface with specific
ip address.
That could mean ARPs should go out both interfaces. But it
doesn't always mean there's a problem. Only one ARP response
will be used. The result could be that only one interface is
loaded with outgoing packets.
That's why it's tricky.
