Funny you mentioned the OpenWrt: I have been using one as access
point and realized I not only forgot how to but cannot find info (I
remember seeing it years ago) on how to run the 2.4 and 5GHz as
separate networks. Well, I can't even get the internal dhcp to work,
having to forward all that to my bind/dhcp vm guest. Shame on me, as
if I get that working I can then think on putting a vpn between
wireless and internal networks which is something I really should be
doing.

I really think it depends on the load, and only you have access
to the performance info to answer that. There are people running all
that in docker containers (I could swear I read about an "official" or
"officially blessed" postfix container in the postfix mailing list).
