VLAN separation NFS and NVME/TCP Traffic

Are there any issues with using a unified VLAN for NFS and NVME-TCP traffic in a medium sized OpenShift VM environment?  For best performance, are separate VLANs best practice for data traffic for the backend storage with these two protocols?  According to NetApp’s Best Practices for Modern SAN (October 2025) for NVME-TCP traffic: Administrators may implement separate subnets and VLANs for logical traffic isolation. While redundant subnets strengthen resilience, distinct VLANs bolster security by maintaining discrete workflows.   Nothing specific to performance issues or gains.
