What you propose should work as long as the iMac or MacBook running the server (core) meets the minimum hardware specs and your wifi is solid. It doesn't take much (see graphic).
Would you also be relying on wifi for the server-to-router connection or would that be ethernet? I'd recommend hardwiring as much as you can manage. The Roon community generally prefers wired connections over wifi, but there are plenty of folks using wireless with good results. It's more to do with reliability than sound quality. Why not do some experimenting now?

I've never tried to use Roon in a KEF environment, but the reports are uniformly positive.

. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
