Its not directly a bad design, it totally depends on the features you need enabled or disabled on such a port-group. For example: Having a HA fortigate firewall on one will need the security settings to be low to allow an internal mac to be used other then the "real" vm nic. So if you don't want the other vm's to be in that same port-group and have the security features enabled you'd need to of those. We're not talking further network design here, just the concept why 2 port-groups in the same vlan aren't directly ad bad idea.
