Hi. I agree with your summary, but I don't understand the logic or usefulness of inverting the reporting for wirelessly connected APs.
From an AP perspective, RX packets are inbound and destined for the internet via the UP link. Conversely, (TX) packets transmitted are sent to end users because they are coming DOWN from the internet.
I just have an issue where an identical model of AP shows reversed statistics just because it has a wireless backhaul. i think this is a bug and should be fixed.
versus
In the Devices.Overview menu of SDN, TX (generally much larger) and RX are correctly defined regardless of AP model or backhaul type:
At the very least, i would request that the Map option Labels use Left and Right arrows to denote flow of user traffic rather than Up/Down arrows as they are misleading.

Below shows a case where 95%+ of wireless traffic is consumed by users attached to a single 1-hop mesh AP.
How do we interpret the varying spread between TX and RX data? Is it all re-tried packets? Is it local 2Gband-to-5Gband traffic being handled by the AP? Both?
Here are the stats from the Mesh_AP's 5Ghz backhaul link (different time scales, only last 20% is relevant here):
(there are zero drops on the 2.4G link and very few retransmits,so irrelevant)
From a switch perspective, things line up
