You might have a little bit of jitter, but that's what jitter buffer is 
all about. IMHO it would be fine for VoIP but as it has been pointed on 
the list it would be wise to prioritize correctly both ends of your 
aggregated link.

PS: What about Wifi for your link? With a couple of well placed 
high-gain outdoor antennas you could cover the distance and have similar 
throughput... It could be significantly cheaper too!

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
