Yes you need to license both polarities. Most frequency coordinators know what the ExtremeAir is and will license it as XPIC. Same licensing requirement as if you do a 2+0 XPIC configuration with 4 radio heads.
There is no 1024QAM version of it yet, the product is a few years old. 1024QAM wouldn't improve things much as right now it's a line rate 1GbE radio, so between two routers logically indistinguishable from a patch cable. 1024QAM wouldn't get to 2Gbps, and I don't think they want to put a 10GbE SFP+ interface on it and then tell the customers "oh yeah it has a 10GbE interface but it actually does 1.35 Gbps".
