Any tips on where per-packet antenna selection could be pushed?

Keep in mind smart antenna requires HW support (you can check this via
wmi_services in debugfs on ath10k - there's SW and HW bits are
advertised there). Not all qca988x chips support it - only some of the
revisions. I don't know if ones found in Archer C7 support it (maybe
some do?).

There's some code on codeaurora you can use as a reference:
