Question about Range Extenders on Onmesh Routers in AP mode

Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: Latest Firmware

So I have discovered that my old Archer C7 is reaching a throughput issue with all my devices connected (40+).  As a result, I'm looking to upgrade my router to something more like the Archer AX11000 v1 which is 'planned' to support OneMesh down the road.

 

I already have two RE300's in onemesh mode hooked to my C7 extending the range effectively to the limits of my home and detached garage. 

 

Here's my question:   If I went ahead and bought the AX11000 and waited for the possible onemesh firmware to come out, in the mean time would I be able to put the Archer C7 on an ethernet cable attached to the AX11000 with the C7 operating as an access point while still having onemesh RE300s hooked to the C7 for a single SSID?

 

 

Effectively this is what I'd like to do, if it is possible:

 

Modem->  AX11000 with wifi disabled -> Ethernet cord to C7 in Access Point Mode -> Wireless bridge with onemesh enabled to RE300s for extended range.

The C7 will be able to work wired to the AX11000 as an access point. The C7 wireless network won't be able to integrate into the OneMesh network, but it will just be its own wireless network. Setting the C7 into Acces Point mode will get rid of the OneMesh ability of the C7.
