Big-IP LTM VE on AWS. Anyone using clone pools to send Bidirectional traffic to IDS instance in same AWS VPC?

R/f5networks is pretty dead and the aws subreddits are fractured so I am asking here.

Has anyone tried using clone pools on the LTM VE? I'm looking for an alternative to agent-based packet capture (like Gigamon's vTap). Not interested in flowlogs. Naturally I'm ok with the LTM being in line. IDS resides in a separate Linux instance "X" but same VPC. If my tcpdump on "X" sees full payload in real-time without dropping packets the test is successful. Assume bursts up to 1gbit.
