Well as a "larger old WISP" I will tell you that you should route at the edge and switch in the middle. But hey what do I know, only been doing this nearly 20 years....
Why are you dodging my question? What is a "large" flat network? Here I will give you multiple choice:
1. is a half class C network "large"
2. is a class C network "large"
3. is a multiple of a class C network "large"
4. is a half class B network "large"
5. is a class B network "large"
6. is a multiple of a class B network "large"
7. is a half class A network "large"
8. is a class A network "large" (hint this one is way to big)
9. is a multiple of a class A network "large"
Don't get me wrong, I agree It is very unlikely that the issue is with the Netonix. They are a wonderful little power supply / management that helps keep my enclosures nice and pretty. The only reason I came on here, is the odd coincidence of the change in behavior and the Netonix being the only obvious core component change. I have to follow the trail where it leads me. Thus the OP of, has anyone else seen this behavior. I will say it again. I am NOT looking for support, advice or anything other then "Has anyone else seen this issue?" If true, then possibly a bug that needs to be nailed down, if not, then not and I continue my search.
If it is the Netonix it is likely one of two things, it is getting stuck on a MAC address of a DHCP server and not updating it for some reason because of some weird half implementation of DHCP / IGMP snooping that is ignoring the settings or it has a artificial limit to its bridge table that is incredibly small. I honestly do not believe either of these is the case but it would be the first places that I would look.
DHCP - fail only difference is Netonix switch

Re: DHCP - fail only difference is Netonix switch
All of this is explained what I like in the post I linked above and the 1.5 hour video tour which is of my WISP.
Personally I do like Layer 2 segments larger than an AP.
If a piece of equipment on say 500 devices goes bad and starts spewing packets or there is a loop somewhere or so on it becomes a nightmare.
I too am an OLD wisp, for 20+ years as well,
Started with large flat network then about 10 years ago went with a router at every tower and then each AP a separate segment and my life is sooo much easier.
Build and run your network how you like best.
