Not just cheep devices, PlayStation4 is 2.4 only :-/

If I do this, I’ll probably use 5Ghz for the
indoor devices to avoid 2.4GHz where possible.

I should add that in a typical environment with
wood frame houses/other structures, it helps a lot
to choose the 2.4 GHz channel on the home WiFi AP
for each CPE location, so that none of them
overlap with your carefully predetermined 10 MHz
channel.

2.4 in 10 MHz channels goes through a decent
amount of trees within 1-2 miles max, if all the
CPEs are nanobridge m5-25 dishes or similar sized
reflectors...
I've seen such setups with clients in trees and
signals right around -69 on both chains.
Not a lot of aggregate capacity per sector however.

I've never had any luck with 2.4 going through
much more than the side of an aspen tree.
can you set up some 900 test shots?

So given this scenario, would 2.4GHz be better? I
can use 5GHz inside the houses.

I have not measured one, but if someone has a pine
tree nearby and an ohm meter, measure the
resistance of the needle. Make sure you jam the
probe into the interior of the thing.
I am guessing that the water content of the needle
absorbs some of the RF energy al la a microwave
oven. But anecdotal evidence over the past 10-15
years has shown that pine trees are worse than
others so if the needle itself has a fairly low
resistance, like 100 ohms, it is acting like a
dipole with a termination resistor. That is really
going to suck up the signal.
Stealth aircraft have microwave absorbing foam on
some of their surfaces that operate by similar
principles.

the wavelength of 900Mhz is ~33.3cm so a quarter
wave length is ~8.33cm (~3 1/4 inch). Ponderosa
pine needles (and many other pine needles) are
around the same 3 1/4 inch length
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_ponderosa
so with water in the needles you have a big 900Mhz
RF scattering/reflector ;-)

Ponderosa? Fir? Cedar?
The length of the needles matter.

Realistically, what kind of distances do you get
through these types of trees?
