Intel cards in particular will flat out refuse to work in AP mode on the 5GHz band due to a poorly implemented regulatory domain check. On the other hand, my generic AliExpress Mediatek MT7612U works in AP mode. If I recall, it was passable, but it didn't perform that well compared to my dedicated AP; I think it was the range that wasn't as good (probably had something to do with my antennas). I also didn't test it with a lot of clients.

Intel's Location Aware Regulatory sucks, but: "when LAR actually works, the real issue isn't LAR, but rather hostapd not scanning before setting up the AP." "after some trial and error, I was able to get [patched] hostapd to start in the 5GHz band on an Intel [AX210] card with LAR enabled" https://tildearrow.org/?p=post&month=7&year=2022&item=lar https://tildearrow.org/?p=post&month=7&year=2022&item=lar
