if you use ifupdown2, it'll use "auto ..."

this is because ifupdown2 is able to manage relationship.

The web interface will setup correct configuration for you if you use
ifupdown2 or ifupdown1.

All of my proxmox (5) have allow-ovs in every vmbr.

Yes, see below for more info:

root@pve:~# dpkg --get-selections |grep ifupdown2
ifupdown2                                       install
