possiblity of broadcast storm loop between L3 interface and L2 interface

ys
New Contributor III

Recently I faced network outage due to a lot of packet storm.
I did not identify it was due to broadcast or not. but I would like to know possibility.

I have L3 link and L2 trunk link from switch-A (ICX7750) to switch-B (ICX7450) with config below.
In case of happening broadcast from vlan 1 accidentally, any possibility to broadcast storm loop on vlan 1?
Also possibility to forward these broadcast packets to eth1/1/3 connecting to different switch?

Because route-only L3 interface is still a member of vlan1 by default on ruckus switches.
