I get the following when trying to apply this on a fedora 35 install.

root@fedora ~]# ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-xor 
xmit_hash_policy vlan+srcmac
[root@fedora ~]# nft 'add table netdev nt'
[root@fedora ~]# nft 'add chain netdev nt bond0EgressFilter { type 
filter hook egress device bond0 priority 0; }'
Error: unknown chain hook
add chain netdev nt bond0EgressFilter { type filter hook egress device 
bond0 priority 0; }
                                                          ^^^^^^
