Yes. If you don't have any AX mode devices yet, you'll be fine. At somepoint, try enabled AX mode after you have had the WS device connected to see if it remains connected after AX mode is re-enabled.

Yes, disabling AX mode loses some of the key functionality of your new Orbi AX and newer Wifi-6 clients (like iPhone 11) will not benefit. I recommend trying FURRYe38's recommendation of setting CTS/RTS to 2347. That fixes a lot of wireless compatibility issues with the Orbi AX.
