I REALLY need some stability in the network because I'm planning to drop my Dish Network and switch to YouTube TV streaming service in the next month, so even TV viewing will then be dependent on internet access. Technically I don't even really need a mesh system because I've got the CAT6 wiring I need to just use APs. Whatever; this is where I am right now.
I have a very stable and robust wifi network currently with 2.3.5.30. All I needed to do related to wired backhaul is mentioned in this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Wired-Backhaul-in-recent-firmware-releases/m-p/1783871#M67538
This should not e difficult to do to fix your issues and improve your system.
Possible you may have a bad system. Might ask NG for a RMA.
Ethernet back haul does work.
I'm way beyond the warranty. I'll give it some time in the current configuration for a while.
Still up and running pretty reliably so far.
So what do you think that made the system better?
I can only assume it was fixed by the workaround suggested by ekhalil.

That said it's still too early to declare victory; it was working fine for days before it went south, so I prob need more uptime to say for sure.
