I know the Asus ZenWifi AX that has two 5 GHz bands, the second has 160 MHz channel bandwith and by default is used for the wireless backhaul up to 4800 Mbps.
But thanks to the configuration settings available, each of the 3 bands (2.4 GHz + 2 x 5 GHz) can be used as the wireless backhaul, so the 2nd 5 GHz band can be devoted to wireless clients.
Moreover, if using a wired backhaul, all the 3 bands can be used by wireless clients.
