In that case, please open a new question to ask for help with this particular problem, since it doesn't fit under the theme of your current question of "is it supported"? Please run the WiFi diagnostics and include a link to the result in your new question.

It's not that bad if you can use antenna selection configuration. If I recall correctly this was the case with some kernels in versions 4.15.0-X where X < 33. With the kernel 4.15.0-33 you need to compile a kernel module which may be not obvious for less advanced users.
In worst case it was like that: antenna selection configuration was ignored and source code of an alternative kernel module was not compatible with the kernel...
