Netplan 2 Interfaces, same IP Load Balance?

Is there a way to load balance with netplan between 2 interfaces that have the same IPs in my machine?

My current configuration is like this:

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp3s0:
      optional: true
      dhcp4: false
      dhcp6: false
      addresses:
        - 192.168.3.9/24
        - "2601:19b:4700:17c::1002/128"
      nameservers:
        addresses:
          - 1.1.1.1
          - 1.0.0.1
          - 8.8.8.8
          - 8.8.4.4
          - "2606:4700:4700::1111"
          - "2606:4700:4700::1001"
          - "2001:4860:4860::8888"
          - "2001:4860:4860::8844"
      routes:   
        - to: default
          via: 192.168.3.1
          metric: 100
  wifis:
    wlp4s0:
      optional: true
      access-points:
        "MY_SSID":
          password: "MY_PASS"
      dhcp4: false
      dhcp6: false
      addresses:
        - 192.168.3.9/24
        - "2601:19b:4700:17c::1002/128"
      nameservers:
        addresses:
          - 1.1.1.1
          - 1.0.0.1
          - 8.8.8.8
          - 8.8.4.4
          - "2606:4700:4700::1111"
          - "2606:4700:4700::1001"
          - "2001:4860:4860::8888"
          - "2001:4860:4860::8844"
      routes:
        - to: default
          via: 192.168.3.1
          metric: 200

With bonding you only assign the IP to the bond and not the interfaces. I don't know if bonding a WiFi and an Ethernet is wise, but I am sure it can be done. For the bonding though you will need to decide why you are doing it and what is the best bonding type you will need.

Thanks Terrance, I am thinking I'd like the Ethernet as the backup, I think that is what I am looking for ;) My WIfi on that machine is 2-4x faster than my Ethernet is, so I'll likely set it up as an `active-backup` I'm not at this server right now, and my internet is down anyways, so, I can't test yet... can you post as an answer though?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
