I've moved on from Ubiquiti access points as well. Their U6 simply does not handle VLANs properly, they never acknowledged the issue let alone fixed it. See https://community.ui.com/questions/U6-IW-how-to-trunk-all-5-...

Their security issues in the past. Their failure to make the EdgeRouter handle DHCP and DNS properly. Etc...

I've since moved to cheap switches that support all port vlan trunks and LACP bonding, then just plug Proxmox into them and run OpenWRT in a VM for routing all the vlans. The Proxmox+OpenWRT combo even supports hot-plug virtual interfaces as more VLANs are lit up, they just pop up nicely in the web UI.

For the APs, TP-Link is less expensive and better performance. WiFi 7 and 10gbit for less money. No need to run a management OS in a VM either.
