There used to be some limitations with Dolby Vision as well, but I think those have mostly been straightened out now.

wait. If I use VLC (for example) on AppleTV to play something from my network using SMB or DLNA, I cannot get Dolby Atmos?

Yeah if Apple ever allows audio passthru then the appleTV would dethrone the aging Nvidia shield as the best streamer on the market
I have a modest AVR and 7 channel setup and still watch movies on my shield which is still getting android updates
