Great news.  Thank you.

If you for any other client not supporting AES yet have to switch TKIP
back on, then you would have to update wpa_supplicant.conf and make sure
you have:
         pairwise=CCMP
         group=CCMP
for the network.

That said, if there is no need to TKIP it is always good to disable it
these days given it's no longer considered secure and was deprecated
more than a decade ago (2012?).

Thanks a lot for testing!
