Ubiquiti does NOT outperform consumer oriented routers in the market. It doesn't even perform as well as some of its commercial competitors.

Ubiquitis work great and have a lot of great features, but range and throughput are not where they shine.

Really? Show me a consumer grade router that can handle anything near the PPS even the cheapest edgerouter can and router with proper QoS implementation that actually works.

100 uplink utilization with no affect on latency isn’t something I’ve seen before on consumer routers even with rate limiting and fencing.

my bad, I was specifically talking about wireless performance. I misread your post.

Even wireless... I have over 20 clients going and they handle it just fine, even transferring massive files. I can easily max out wireless AC. Maybe you're experience is with their older APs?

Completely disagree. It crushes Meraki and any consumer gear I've ever used in range AND throughput in all my testing. It seems like it's also pretty important to talk about what gear you're discussing, too.
