After turning my AX setting off, my router & satellites appear to be more stable. I haven't tinkered around with change the IP address or the power setting on 2.4ghz, but hopefully this is sufficient until the new firmware comes out.
In related news, Netgear escalated support has completely ghosted me. I'm thinking of opening a new ticket so that support can be started as my 90-day warranty window is closing soon.

Good to hear. Unfortunately deactivating AX did not improve anything for me. Ultimately, I think there are several distinct issues being discussed on this thread. Personally, my issue is one of my two sattelites is constantly disconnecting from the base after the upgrade. I constantly see the famous green then blue light on it. Messing around with IP space/DCHP should not make any difference in Sattelite connectivity to the base from a technical standpoint. I did have some issues with end points and I think that can be attributed to the IP address range issues.
Since I was having more problems with one sattelite than the other, I moved the troublesome one closer to the base as a test and it definitely has improved the number of times it resyncs but it is still numerous times a day vs constantly in the old location. This leads me to think that the software upgrade greatly reduced the range for the backhaul link. If this is the case then it defeats the purpose of the mesh system as the I am not getting the coverage needed in my house. Definitely a huge step back in performance vs the older code.
Has anyone else who has had the sattelite disconnect issue, tried playing around with location and seen any differences as well?
