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.

I have to use wi-fi calling on our cell phones due to no service from ANY provider. Any idea how these do in handing off in-progress calls as I wander around the house? It's usually a crap shoot whether I get handed off or disconnected with my current but older Ubiquity UniFi Saucer system. Ticking the "MESH" box in the saucers' configurations does absolutely nothing.
Is this system usually installed after the router, or does one of the towers have the router built in? How is the configurability of the system if its router must be used?
I do like my Ubiquity UniFi system (more or less), but its cryptic setup and many advanced options, along with every software update changing how everything works drives me crazy and I've about had enough. Going on Ubiquity's user support site to ask questions just draws derisive posts saying "This stuff is meant to be only installed by networking professionals, which is clearly not YOU."
Thanks.

The biggest drawback is the outdated and very basic firmware. I bought these without doing a great amount of research, and while setup is simple and easy, that's where the good points of the interface end. I would not buy again as I prefer to have more control over IP filtering, traffic monitoring, etc.

I have been using dd-wrt for years, but it's problematic now. They don't even include an IPv6 firewall in their builds. IPv6 is going to become more common, and you need it for matter.
The MX4300 is plenty fast on OpenWRT. There are builds with acceleration out there but I decided not to use them. The DDWRT builds that enable them use binary blobs to do it and sometimes they get unstable on new kernel versions and you eventually have to turn them off anyway. They also have other limitations, e.g. they often don't work quite right with other QOS features.
I would rather my router was stable and the throughput is crazy high anyway, much faster than my Internet downlink. You can enable SFE in OpenWRT if you need it.
Bought the proper Omada hardware and it's been a dream.

Why not buy more Velop's? https://computers.woot.

These are Linksys not TP-Link, so I wouldn't expect the TP-Link app to find them.
