Disabling the radio on the hub means the hub is still acting as DHCP server and Firewall to the network - this is historically where most of the Hubs issues lie. Just plugging in a consumer router and switching the hub to modem mode is far, far better. You can't use modem mode with the Unifi AP's as they don't do DHCP, they're literally just AP's.

Assuming your consumer router is fit for purpose in the context of the building and the use case.
Yes of course the Unifi APs are just access points, there was never a suggestion otherwise. There will always be situations where a one-box solution isn't going to cut it in which case you would be far better investing in this proven solution (which honestly is *NOT* difficult configure or manage in any way) than gambling one of those off-the-shelf black box APs/Extenders which all too often end up just being a litany of woes.
Afterall it's up to the OP to make an informed decision based on any advice given and based on his/her particular environment and requirements.
