Is wifi0 (and not wlan0) in charge of the stablishing the queuing disciplines on the interface?

Only the master interface has qdisc queues and you have identified one
of the exceptions where the master interface needs to be used instead of
wlan0.. wlan0 is just a virtual interface that sets it queue length to
zero and queues outgoing packets to the wifi0 queue. Because of this,
most queueing discipline configuration must be done on wifi0.
