Yes, however new reno and the like are tuned for practical Internet.
Practical Internet has lot more packet loss than reordering, so TCP
algorithm considers any amount of reordering a packet loss, causing an
immediate resend, destroying your performance.

However, as you state TCP will only ever see single port LACP interfaces.
