Disabling WMM is abosolutely going to kill your speeds, as 802.11n and 802.11ac protocols require its use.

As for the AirPlay thing, I've been streaming from iTunes to a stereo attached to an AirPort Express (all wirelessly - no ethernet) for a couple hours today with no real problems noticed so far. I'm on firmware V2.0.0.76, with WMM enabled, but beamforming and MU-MIMO are both disabled (the last two were off by default when I originally set up the Orbi, and I figured there was probably a reason for that, so I never bothered to enable them).
