Two pieces of breakage there, only the second is the showstopper for me:

* The CT drivers/firmware do not support mesh, as confirmed above

* The "classic" drivers/firmware fail on or after the indicated commit

     CONFIG_PACKAGE_ath10k-firmware-qca9887=y
     CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath10k=y
     # CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath10k-ct is not set


That the CT drivers/firmware don't support 802.11s mesh
isn't really an OpenWrt issue.

That there is a regression in overall system capability
that "kills" connectivity is a signficant concern.
