Thus I was wondering if someone can kindly comment on the current chipset stability with ath9k, also the current supported features (e.g. ?"iw list" output) such as setting the NIC as an AP/Master using hostapd, Greenfield mode, TxBF, CSI info, and LPDC as well as rates achieved.

I don't have details on the other things you ask about. I'd suggest getting a few NICs and trying them out in your environment. Even if they have problems, there are folks actively working on it and likely it can be fixed. And at least for our use with virtual stations & APs, there is no other NIC that comes close to the features that Atheros offers.
