Unless you specifically configure true "per-packet" on your LAG:

    set interfaces ae2 aggregated-ether-options load-balance per-packet

I ran per-packet on a Juniper LAG 10 years ago. It produced 100% perfect 
traffic distribution. But the reordering was insane, and the 
applications could not tolerate it.

If you applications can tolerate reordering, per-packet is fine. In the 
public Internet space, it seems we aren't there yet.
