Always a good idea to have a separate VLAN per AP routed to its own router port
in my experience.

I think what they are saying is if you are not currently setup for vlans per
ap, then it probably doesn't make sense, just adds more complexity. I see your
point to separate traffic down to the Mikrotik so you can torch local traffic
to AP.
So you would have something like this Mikrotik (Customer Bridge where DHCP
server resides) bridged to vlan which is then tagged through to untagged port
on R6? This would allow you to monitor ap traffic on a per vlan basis on the
MIkrotik.
Now I feel confused LOL....

Ok, so I'm hearing "the way you're doing it is wrong" Is there a better way?
Or just let the R6 act as a dumb switch, and then log into that to try to
troubleshoot any per port issues.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of vlans...

Then how do I get all the Ports on the Edgepoint to share the same IP

*nods* just leave the VLANs as native interfaces on the Mikrotik. No
need to bridge them.

It doesn't like that you're bridging all these vlans. From experience,
it's nothing but broken-ness.
You can still torch each vlan interface you know.

I'm working on the bench with a UBNT Edgepoint (R6 model) The newest
firmware allows you to set per port untagged Vlans in switch mode. I'm
thinking of using this to power a cluster of AP's, but I'd like to keep the
ability to view per port traffic in the mikrotik via Torch for
monitoring/troubleshooting purposes. My Plan was to put each port on the R6 on
a different Vlan, Have a Trunk port to the mikrotik, then just bridge the Vlans
together in the Mikrotik. This mostly works, as the Mikrotik can talk to each
AP, but the AP's cannot ping each other, and it seems that I have random packet
loss from the Mikrotik to the AP's. Is there a setting I'm missing that's
blocking the traffic between Vlans, or is this a Edgepoint problem? Or does it
not like that I'm bridging all these Vlans that are on the same Mikrotik
interface.
