I'm looking with dual band support which most importantly supports both 2.4/5ghz and also has support for AP and has no issues with OBSD itself.

OpenBSD at most supports 11ac (and then only on very limited devices -
I think it's just bwfm, and I think you'll have a hard time finding one).

If you want a high performance wifi AP, use a separate device. (the
TP-Link Omada range are supposedly pretty good).
