You're not the only one there: That's what I've been using lwIP with in the 
first project where I used it. However, lwIP was only used as IP stack for 
parallel low priority communication, the industrial Ethernet protocol was 
handled by a different stack. The two stacks shared an ethernet controller, of 
course, and there have been no problems with the current locking design of lwIP.
