I think it's worth including but it's not needed to do bonding, you
can still do the old school bonding without it.

+1 from me.
While old school bonding is still available using the kernel module,
teaming provides a lot more functionality[1]. To name a few:
D-Bus interface
Port Priorities
Separate per-port link monitoring
IPv6 link monitoring
LACP active and load balance modes
