That’s the same configuration I have, with a Denon amp doing the atmos processing. I had some rear upfiring speakers also but I ditched them because my ceiling is too high for the heights to work anyway D=. Even without the heights though you get SIGNIFICANTLY improved positional audio. Things like panning from front to rear are seamless, especially with timbre matched speakers.

But Atmos is a receiver level technology?
How does a speaker "have Atmos"?

It has to have upward drives to really have Atmos. It needs the ability to bounce it off other surfaces for it to really be Atmos.

Wouldn't that mean you have a 5.1.2 setup, a valid Atmos configuration?
The rear ones don't have to have any upfiring capabilities.
