Unfortunately one of the stations has now basically died. While it can join the mesh, if I connect to it either by plugging in an Ethernet cable to any port, or connecting specifically to that station over wifi, it immediately enters a reboot loop. Fully resetting/wiping firmware doesn't help.
I emailed support and they got back to me pretty fast. It sounds like they're willing to replace it, but waiting on confirmation. If they don't, I'll just return the whole thing to Costco.

I did forget to mention that these have a very simple web UI where you basically can't change anything, and basically all changes have to be through their Deco app. Even then, the level of customization is pretty basic compared to say, Netgear.

You can choose to also leave the att wifi on or you can disable it. You can access via the URL and access code printed on the modem.
You'll also want to go to the firewall section and the passthrough IP fixed section and select the Deco router for passthrough.
I have one node in a workshop, and two in the house. Even though the workshop is far away from the house, one node in the house and the node in the workshop are connected via an Ethernet cable and connectivity is seamless when moving from the house to the shop.
I have this paired with the T-mobile 5g home internet (only internet available where I am) which unmodified has high download/upload speeds, but loaded ping was very bad. I enabled the QoS settings through the deco app to make the loaded ping figures much better, but it seems like other routers would have handled this type of situation more effectively.
All in all, I'm happy with the system. It's very simple to setup and maintain.
I like this because I have cat cables running in the house so I can ethernet back haul each node and get full speed. App, web are really basic so don't expect much. Not sure if anyone else has this issue but it did takes a while to realized it's plug in with ethernet. Eventually I got it all worked. Devices are instantly connect back after reboot and great wifi coverage. Highly recommend if you looking for a decent 6e solution with back haul

I replaced Google wifi and as others stated, this has been solid and the range and speed are also excellent even without weird backhaul.
