you sure wlan1 is correct here? It means "use wlan1 for hotspot"
In my setup (external usb card for extra coverage) I'm setting primary_wifi_device: wlan0, so we get hotspot on builtin card (that is less prone to issues) and main connectivity on external

yes, it is correct , when you use wlan1 then comitup will use wlan0, broadcast openmower-xx and you can just use it., after that you get some nginx error.
with enable_appliance_mode you disable wlan0 for wifi broadcast.
so this is only an issue when you have 2 wifi devices.

is this now verified correct? can I merge?

I, frankly, don't know. In my setup I have predictive interface names enabled, udev mapping internal interface to wlan1 and comitup.conf just contains primary_wifi_device: wlan0. Meanwhile interfaces work correctly:

Without additional settings power management is off on external and internal is switched off.
I would create some badge, like "People tried that with success" that would mean that it's not official verified solution but something people can experiment with.

it is by design when you have an external wifi device davesteele/comitup#21
wlan0 stays up with comitup ip and broadcast wifi. if you connect you will get some nginx error.
on the openmower OS comitup.conf it also have now a reference to these 2 params

I'd say we move that to contrib section. because there would be additional issue with cards fighting for |
