It works great. A lot of us use the Stellarmate at the mount and the KStars/Ekos to connect. I'm using a MacBook to control the device inside.
I changed it from the hotspot to infrastructure mode so that it connects to my home network. The Stellarmate can connect to the closest access point, and I can roam the house and still control it. If you look around the forums you will also see quite a few people connect via ethernet to Stellarmate.
If you want to run it both ways it works as well. Just create multiple profiles as needed.
