hey all..

I have a collection of 6100s and was reading the documentation for general things..

Is that just a typo?

I believe that refers to VLANs created with the ANS framework. Normal VLANs, including some hardware offloading, are certainly supported.

I have a 6100 in my lab and it definitely supports VLANs just fine, I have a ton of them in my setup, so nothing to worry about there.
