Is Amplifi WiFi a mesh system or not?

Problem is said to be only with the HD, which is not yet shipping.

HD is the only one with 3x3 mesh points.

I know. That's the one I prefer.

Senna1: I think you're wise to wait. All these systems are works in progress.
Any of these systems, "mesh" or not, will suffer a ~50% throughput hit when a radio retransmits.

None of these systems has dedicated backhaul radio(s). But eero does split 5 GHz into low and high band radios, so has one more option for managing backhaul and client traffic.

dumb question - does apply upcoming Netgear Orbi as well ?

Soon. I told NETGEAR I didn't want a pre-production unit.

Ubiquiti opens the kimono on its mesh technology. It doesn't reveal any secrets, but explains what their mesh system does.
