Does the Nighthawk MK63 support 802.11k, 802.11r or 802.11v?
As the subject says, do the MR60 or MS60 support 802.11k / 802.11r / 802.11v. If so which ones? I've done a lot of Googling and can't find any mention of whether it supports it or not. If not, how does it handle roaming?

How else?
Anything except of the 802.1x authentication methods on 802.11r - because there is no support for it. That's roughly what the consumer networking industry does designate as "Mesh" support.
Needless to say, a client must be able to make use of the information provided and the capabilities. Legacy clients as commonly used on embedded systems might not take much of an advantage.
Curious of what you are behind exactly, and why?
I was just curious because it's rarely mentioned. Not all mesh systems support all 3.
More to the point, if you read some of the reviews of this product, some report terrible performance when they start moving about - cnet review inparticular is scathing. Has that issue been fixed?
I'm weighing up whether to buy this or TP-Link Deco X20. I keep reading reports of firmware updates causing issues with the Nighthawk, and the need for regular reboots just to get it back online. It's kind of putting me off. I don't know if they can be fixed or whether this product is flawed for life.
