MAC address filtering comes with its own downsides. For one, it’s very easy to spoof. So you can act as a node in the mesh network if you copy the MAC address of a known node.
Implications: elevated access within mesh network, capturing traffic between clients and the mesh network, localized disruption of mesh network due to unstable connection caused by duplicate MAC addresses on a single network
