How does AiMesh work with 1 MLO router and one non MLO router?

How does AiMesh work if I have a 1 Wifi 7 router running MLO and my old non-MLO router RT-AC5300?

From experience with AX router and AC AiMesh node: The router 5 GHz bandwidth and available channels may be limited to what the AC AiMesh node can do. DO not even think of MLO on the AC node. Guest WIFI should work OK on the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band but not both at the same time.
You may be better off using the AC5300 as an AP.

I only really have experience with wired backhaul, which does work as MLO is separated from a Legacy/IoT newtwork. If you need wireless backhaul I'm really not sure...

I'll be using cable.
