I despise access point configurations so my second, older AC router is it's own separate WiFi network connected to the rest of the network. That one feeds everything in the back of the unit (bedrooms and bathroom) and I force all my guests onto it's 2.4 GHz spectrum.

The number of 2.4 GHz networks around you have no bearing on AC operation as AC operates exclusively on 5 GHz.
Not sure why you despise access point configurations as they're the only system that can scale properly and perform the best. This is provided you're not trying to tie independent access points together to fake a unified wireless system.
