I have what I believe is the exact same device you do (TP-Link
TL-WN722N) and I just plugged it in to my MacBookAir7,2 where uhub0 is
attached to usb0 which is attached to xhci0 and, after running fw_update
to get the athn(4) firmware, was able to reattach and bring it up in
hostap mode without any issues.

I think stsp@ is correct that something else is going on with xhci(4) on
your machine since this USB device works pretty well. I also tested an
older rum(4) device I have as well and that also works.
