I have a 6.0.4 system for Dolby Atmos...but it's complicated for the sake of minimalism, if you will.
I don't uses Dolby digital bass management, because my system is wired as a 2.0 system with the front left and right channels of the Dolby processor available as a "second stereo source" when I'm listening to surround material:
Stereo digital sources > DAC > passive selector/attenuator > active left and right speakers and two subs
Dolby Atmos processor surround and height channels > active surround bed and height speakers,
Dolby front left and right channels available as a second "stereo input" on the passive selector/ attenuator.
In this arrangement the Dolby processor is not in the signal path for 2-channel stereo listening. So I guess you could call it a configurable system for 2.0 "or" for 6.0.4.
I don't have any issues with using bass management, I just haven't gone the extra step of introducing a bass-managed signal to the subs for application for surround material only. I just derive bass from the front left and right channels. I set the Dolby processor as "6.0.4," i.e., no subwoofers.
