Note that your barf's did not include log files. But regardless, it
shows the kernel ip xfrm state/policy showing the tunnels are up fine.

The only thing I can see wrong is:

Checking for IPsec support in kernel                    [OK]
  NETKEY: Testing XFRM related proc values
          ICMP default/send_redirects                    [NOT DISABLED]

   Disable /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects or NETKEY will act on
or cause sending of bogus ICMP redirects!

          ICMP default/accept_redirects                  [NOT DISABLED]

   Disable /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects or NETKEY will act
on or cause sending of bogus ICMP redirects!

          XFRM larval drop                               [OK]
Pluto ipsec.conf syntax                                 [OK]
Hardware random device                                  [N/A]
Two or more interfaces found, checking IP forwarding    [OK]
Checking rp_filter                                      [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter                  [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter              [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/rp_filter                 [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/rp_filter                 [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/flannel0/rp_filter             [ENABLED]
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ip_vti0/rp_filter              [ENABLED]


Please completely disable redirects and rp_filter
