I use load balanced links to my NAS since it is primarily used for photos and other small files. I do get fairly close to full utilization if Windows needs to rebuild all the thumbnails or if my servers happen to read the NAS SMB share at the same time.
Still, it is kinda pointless except in the rare cases it's not. 99% of the time it's only one link that gets used. My NAS and my switch support it so there isn't really a reason not to bond them.
