I thought about it, but WiFi cards are generally better supported on Linux, and since I'll be running OpenWrt on the APs, I'd prefer having a unified OS for both APs and the router.

I guess it will depend on how much I like OpenWrt :) I don't have any experience with it.

If you do go the OPNSense route, just be aware you need to disable the spectre/meltdown mitigations to get reasonable performance. pfsense has them disabled by default.

In tunables you need:

hw.ibrs_disable="1"

hw.mds_disable="0"

vm.pmap.pti="0"
