MK62 with switch for backhaul and ethernet clients

Can I use an unmanaged switch as both ethernet backhaul to MS60 satellites and wired ethernet clients as pictured below?  Is there any advantage of doing this over just using a router and Netgear WAX214 access points with identical SSIDs?switch.png

I do it frequently (not the MK60 series but other orbi series) Is there any advantage of doing this over just using a router and Netgear WAX214 access points with identical SSIDs?----It should perform pretty similar if using a wired backhaul. The WAX will have a few more business oriented features but if you don't use them, they should perform about the same.
