You don't need to use aggregation for all frames, aggregation is just one technique that you can use for 802.11n, ath9k is an example driver that chooses to always use aggregation though. > Also, a single fixed MCS index in the first slot of the tx control > rates array will not perform as well as e.g. minstrel_ht, especially > not if your radio environment is noisy. You might want to look at how the passed rate gets mapped to a hardware rate on the driver you are using.
