Other mesh networks such as Eero and soon Luma support hard wiring your sattelites. I think its extremely important Netgear Orbi does the same. Especially for those of us who can.
I would like to see this as an option, as I have wire pulled to a guest house - where I would like to put a sattelite that is part of the same network for seamless roaming. So the setup would be one main router, one sattelite over wired ethernet backhaul, and one additional sattelite using the standard wireless backhaul. Would be awesome if that would be possible, as the wireless backhaul cannot reach the guest house.
you get away with it may be if you could set up two routers as a repeater and the other as access point from you say the wifi signals should not see the other and connect them by your wired Ethernet back cable may not the fastest sppeds but may work. The repeater could transmit the home wifi to the guest house over the wired lan cable and the access point could turn back into wifi a strange way to do it but may work.
