Heavy use (say, 3–4 simultaneous 4K streams at 20 Mb/s each on the top floor AP) could potentially choke that 2×2 link. Your other floors would likely be fine though. However, I'd reccomend that If you want faster, more consistent speeds without pulling Ethernet, go tri-band wifi 6 or better. I like the Velop MX4200 or MX5300 sets. They pop up on Woot, cost more usually, but their dedicated 5 GHz back-haul keeps ~70-80 % of your bandwidth at every node (through each floor). They are a bit pricier than the Atlas system here though, where this is $36, and a used Mx4200 or 5300 3 pack is probably around $100 (ebay).
The Atlas Pro 6 sits in between the options here with a wider 4×4 pipe but still dual-band, so floor-to-floor hops can still bottleneck. For seamless multi-floor performance, I'd reccomend you to stick with something tri-band Wi-Fi 6, or just go with this if you dont want to spend the ~$100+ for a tri band system.

These appear to have some DD-WRT and OpenWRT support, but YMMV.
No OpenWrt stable release at this time, only snapshots which can create some issues if you're not familiar with OpenWrt. It would most likely have support in the next stable release though.
DD-WRT is in perpetual beta and hasn't had a stable release since 2008. I don't see any MX2000 beta support anyway.
