Give it a spin. Just because it isn't something many of us with more networking experience and knowledge would pick up doesn't mean it'll fail to meet your needs.
TPLink is cheap. You generally get what you pay for. But what I'd suggest would cost closer to the 150-200 mark to replace it.
So try that device out, if it sucks as a router, pick up an EdgrouterX for 60 bucks or so and use the TPLink in Access Point mode to provide WiFi. It'll still be cheap and effective. If the TPLink doesn't suck for what you need, then enjoy! simple as that.
One thing you should be aware of going with these cheap home grade routers is that they're more likely to be succeptible to exploits and less likely to receive timely updates or resolutions for said exploits.
VpnFilter was one such recent scare that even affected business grade routers.

The caveat for a cheap router that cannot take custom firmeware is relying purely on the mfg to get around to possibly releasing such fixes for their cheap products. Obviously the business grade and higher end gear gets the attention first.
Also do not expect high end performance, especially once you just that 10+ connected device count...even less on some really old or low end hardware. Wireless ratings are only theoretical maximums, and weak CPUs with little RAM and storage can be more easily overtaxed like a old Core2 2GB PC vs a 9900K w/16GB playing the same game at the same settings for example.
But at the end of the day, I say use it. Just be aware of the caveats and risks of going with a cheap solution to make sure your expectations of the end results are realistic.
