Unless I'm mistaken (I did not try the patches), the single-phy becomes
multi-concurrent-AP capable (described via netlink iface combination).

So you can still create multiple devices (AP type wlanX) and have the
same behavior as previously.

If I'm wrong, then I agree with you, the proposed solution is a
regression.
