BTW, do you have a *better* idea?

Such a discussion would have to start with a site visit, and neither of
us wants that. I think you're using the tools that you have available to
cobble something together that 'works' for you. Is it a reference
network design that others should emulate? I would say no, but it's
yours and you get the final say. :-)

I know you've discussed some of that wireless architecture and
infrastructure with Jeff L, so you're aware of 2.4GHz channel
limitations, Fresnel zones, transmit power versus receive sensitivity,
interference sources, etc. I don't need to add anything there.

Without a site visit, the only 'better idea' I can suggest is to replace
as many of your intraLAN wireless links with Ethernet cable as possible,
especially inside the house. It's a one-time pain that pays off every
day afterwards. If your house is wired with TV coax, MoCA adapters will
let you use the coax to distribute Ethernet, albeit with a reduction in
throughput capability. On mine, instead of the 900+ Mbps that you'd
expect over GigE, the MoCA adapters max out at around 660 Mbps. That
works for me since I only use that link for streaming.
