Using W-DMX would also mean flying all of the dimmer packs for the lighting, then the rigging isn't balanced on one side if those packs are up there.
I have used 2.4GHz and 5Ghz for intensive applications such as media streaming in theaters that were using wireless DMX at the same time and experienced no interference.

Agreed. Using wireless DMX would be way too much work for this kind of setup as well as I thought I saw some DMX wires on the metal bridges they were using to hold everything up. Getting all the lights to work correctly is enough work without factoring in wireless well at least for me.
