It is "unreliable" by design:
void (*ndo_set_rx_mode)(struct net_device *dev);

Is immediate a hard requirement? I can see a workqueue is used at least:
mlx5e, ipoib, efx, ...

But we know rx mode is best effort e.g it doesn't support vhost and we
survive from this for years.

It's not specific to VDUSE. For example, when using virtio-net in the
UP environment with any software cvq (like mlx5 via vDPA or cma
transport).
