I am surprised you are even messing with AiMesh with the roaming assistant feature turned off. You might as well just use your extra routers as Access Points. As per your talk about turning off AC, I don't see how this is necessary or benefitial unless your wireless devices are older because you are intentionally impacting wireless performance for sheer stability. The trade-off is not really that much different compared to any losses in wireless performance. Now as for wifi settings tab, there are plenty of unnecessary(,but sometimes benefitial depending on case use) options that you can disable without sacrificing actual wireless performance.
As I understand AiMesh will move clients automatically, you don't need to turn on Roaming Assistant. This is for an additional push, but from my testing as I walk through my house my phone will move seamlessly (and quickly) from one node to the next without Roaming assistant turned on. Also, I see maybe 1 dropped packet during the transition while running a continuous ping with 250ms delay between.
