I'm not really a networking expert, so I don't know that the difference is between having both wired and wireless interfaces working at the same time and making MoOde into a "real" AP. I would just like to have both working together.
I'm not sure if getting rid of the "if" statement that Tim alluded to will also get rid of any "delay" that there might be before enabling the WiFi. My "feeling" (not confirmed) is that MoOde polls the wired connection for several seconds/minutes to see if it's connected before enabling WiFi AP mode. I'd also like to eliminate that delay.

System Config, Wait for eth0 address, set to OFF

Thanks, Tim.
Setting that OFF doesn't make much difference. There's still an extra minute+ of time before the WiFi is enabled.
With my RPI3 it's 30sec from boot to ready via wired.
It's 90sec from boot to ready via wireless with Wait for eth0 OFF, and it's 135sec from boot to read via wireless with Wait for eth0 ON.
Is that a limitation of the RPI's wireless system or is there another delay in the MoOde software?

Have a look at the moOde log. It will show exactly how much time it takes for eth0 and wlan0 interfaces to acquire an IP address from your Router.

Hi, all. May be poking a dead horse, here. Got Allo USBridge Signature. Want to use wifi for interface, use ethernet to network with Rasp Pi 4 NFS server (with attached hdd that holds my music collection). Why? Two reasons: not possible to run ethernet across my apartment (music setup is in living room, wifi router in bedroom); read that galvanic isolation of ethernet makes it a better way to connect to hard drive. I know that I'm sacrificing audio quality, maybe, by using wifi dongle (which I have yet to get working!).
Anyone point me down the appropriate paths?

Recommend a single active network interface to ensure max reliability.
Whats not allowed during startup is AP mode and Eth both active.
