Is the MSDU carrying DHCP resp completed with "ok" status? Or is it
maybe no-ack or discarded?

Works for me on c7b39fdeb479a7956a3c41638d527196ce295fdd
(github.com/kvalo/ath) with
 AP: qca988x hw2.0, 10.1.467.2-1
 STA: qca6174 hw2.2 (its a 2x2),

I test by using ip6 ping on each possible endpoint pair (ap->sta,
sta->ap). I flush arp/neigh tables on all endpoints before each ping
so both multicast and unicast is tested.

Within the same quick-n-dirty OTA env I get the following UDP (iperf -P5):

 HT40 (ieee80211ac=0):
  qca6174 -> qca988x  228.383 mbps
  qca988x -> qca6174  238.528 mbps

 VHT40 (your config):
  qca6174 -> qca988x  234.64  mbps
  qca988x -> qca6174  298.723 mbps

 VHT80 (vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=44, vht_oper_chwidth=1)
  qca6174 -> qca988x  377.092 mbps
  qca988x -> qca6174  483.287 mbps
