Mesh network and multiple Hue bridges

Hey guys,

I'm considering a more complex setup to solve an upcoming problem, but I'm not sure if it'll work!..

Currently:
Vodafone router
Hue bridge into router 
45 or so Hue bulbs and accessories

Future idea - Summerhouse becomes more than a shed, so, needs wifi and Hue 'stuff'..:
Vodafone router
Mesh network with 3 nodes, Deco S7 is currently top contender
Bridge one into one Deco node
Another deco node somewhere else in the house 
Bridge two into third deco node in the summerhouse.
Hue count will be sbout 65 by then roughly.


So, does my idea work, simple plug and play, or, is it unlikely to work? - I've done some reading online and finding conflicting views and experiences, just wondering if anyone here has tried! 

Cheers!

    As an alternative twist on the future state I did wonder about homeplugs with WiFi on them.. 

    Would this give me what I need and work better with the Hue setup? (The summerhouse does have power, and I have tested the homeplugs solution with an old wired only pair a few months back)
