If you are doing wireless backhaul tri-band is nice but not necessarily required. It will reduce your speed by having to use the same wifi to talk to both the devices and the upstream router but if your WiFi is often capable of much higher theoretical speeds than people's internet. Even if it is limiting speeds 500 mbs is still plenty useful in most cases even if you have 1gb fiber. Even 50 or 100mbs is plenty for most things. Yeah big game or other downloads will take longer but stuff will still work. Tri-band with two 5ghz connections is nice for wired backhaul and can help improve performance but certainly isn't required.

TL;DR You want triband set up if you can't hardwire your nodes together which i'm willing to bet 99% of you are.
edit: I have the XT8 system currently

Most of these consumers that buy into mesh systems probably using them as wireless. If you have the capability of hardwiring, you're likely smart enough to just utilize ubiquiti aps
