Would this simple Gold SE network work? Is there a better solution?

As shown in the attached diagram I'm wondering if I could attach two access points directly to the Gold SE as well as an unmanaged switch.   The two access points would provide the same set of three SSIDs (think home, guest, and IoT).  Trying to keep it simple for my home network.  Thanks.

  Do you have a lot of AP to AP traffic? if you don't then, it should work. You will need to bridge (2) and (3) as one network;

  If you do have a lot of AP to AP traffic, an AP is much more efficient. (meaning, you don't use too much Gold SE CPU)

  No I don't expect much AP to AP traffic.  The two APs are for geographical coverage.

  Is it advantageous to assign a single band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) to an SSID?  My old tp-link wifi/router did this by default.

  Many thanks for your help.
