Main use case behind the network option is being able to add the ethernet gre interface to a bridge interface as a hotplug interface when the gre ethernet interface becomes active (as you cannot configure the gre(v6)tap interface in the uci bridge ifname option); therefore only the gretap and grev6tap interfaces support this option. The network option has no link to the assignment of a static IP address on a gre interface; I would expect it to work as described below independent from the network option. If the network option is not the most optimal/elegant solution for the use case described above I'm all ears for other suggestions/solutions.
