ath10k runs in Native Wifi Rx decap mode if that's what you're
interested in? But I wouldn't expect it to behave any different than
802.3 decap mode other than a different frame headers.

Maybe re-ordering is disabled implicitly when a monitor vdev is
running in firmware (e.g. when interface is in promisc mode/ in a
bridge)?
