This will certainly work, but the whole mesh networking and more advanced aspects of a real wifi router won't really be present.

I get by without it, but I can imagine some won't be able to.

If you're tech-savvy and building your own router, you can add those advanced aspects in if you want them.

I'd be willing to bet, though, that the overwhelming majority of people who use consumer routers aren't doing anything remotely advanced. A how-to that covers the majority of use cases is valuable even when it excludes advanced use cases.
