One more thing that nobody stated here , remember that F5's are not having full-state failover. From my 7 year experience I've seen situations and environments that this setup was a disaster since applications were not able to reconnect sessions after failover of F5 cluster. For me having inline is the last resort (i would run cluster in hybrid mode so we just use inline for particular vips when necassary).

Really there is no distinction between inline or one armed. In both cases the f5 is a full proxy so wether the egress is on the same vlan as the ingress or if they are in different vlans there isn't a difference to how the traffic is processed. The question really comes down to wether or not we need to snat traffic. If the F5 is not the default gateway for the application servers. If it is, then we do not need to snat.
