Then just VLAN every AP back to your router. This presumes your switches can
handle VLANS. You cannot have APs able to talk to each other through switches
at towers or this will happen again.

Yes, learned all the same lessons. 18 years ago.
Managed switches or routers at every tower. Every single AP on its own VLAN or
router port.

We've gone full circle - Flat to fully routed to MPLS/VPLS over a routed
network back to flat. You hit a scaling issue with routed networks as you
hit 10G and above, especially if you aren't using Mikrotik or other low
cost routing. Real carrier grade switching is a lot lower cost, lower
power,
No this is simply not true.
or the only nugget of truth is that it might take a beefier router
to match the performance of a switch.

I have never heard of routers eating bandwidth between hops. Unless you are
thinking of mesh topology. Eww. Bridged transparent Point to point links
between towers, routers at each site. No bandwidth lost.

We're under 100 subs, and static routing has been easy to monitor via

We had a flat network for a few years with the same setup as you in terms

This is plausible. I think ubnt sends broadcast traffic at MCS0. Not
sure how it handles multicast. If everyone was in the same layer2
domain a heavy broadcast traffic could affect the whole system. Maybe
the customer moving 6-10mbps was malfunctioning and broadcasting something.

Sounds like a broadcast storm to me. What is the topology of your
network? Routers at each tower, VLANs, etc.?
Are you filtering multicast and broadcast traffic at the CPE/customer
premises?
