Safe to add second VDS in 5.5?

[hostasaurus]

Hi all, have a large production environment of 5.5 enterprise plus.  Some of our VM's need to use jumbo frames and our live distributed switch doesn't have the MTU set for that.  I would prefer to not make any changes to the VDS settings, and none of the VLANs it handles need jumbo.  I have found instances of people advocating for not adding more than one distributed switch but not any solid evidence as to why it is or isn't bad. 

Is it safe to add a second distributed switch?  If there's no strong reason not to, I'd prefer to add a new one and set it to use jumbo, then add the relevant VLAN to it so I don't impact the other live traffic.

Thanks

Based on the vSphere configuration maximums you can have up to 16 distributed switches per host (128 per vCenter), so since VMware allows multiples vDS per host I can't understand why it is not safe. Of course you should be careful if you will remove physical NICs from your current vDS to add to the new vDS, but besides that, there is no problem.
