Well, yes, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. It's not like a violation of the Virginia ham code or anything.
But OP, if you're inviting any ham purists, you could either do the honey baked with rolls, or get a country ham with biscuits.
OP here , by General consensus I need to do ham and am leaning towards ham and biscuits
Can I get away with pre made biscuits and ham steak , with mustard , maybe 2 types , for condiments ?

Ham is good.
A friend of mine always serves a beef tenderloin roast as the centerpiece, and its a huge hit.

Yes, no gluten free folks or other allergies / restrictions , but a good point if I didn't eat regularly with this group, thank you
Also, I am planning on doing bacon wrapped asparagus but was around for the asparagus serving debacle and left it out for this thread . Ridiculous I know but that was a long heated thread and j didn't want to revive the issue !
Does that cover my meat or do ham too ?
Not PP. But I think that the ham would still be a nice touch. Your menu sounds delicious.

Honey baked ham and biscuits would be terrific. Don't forget the spicy dijon!

Maybe make one of them a crustless quiche which would be good for those watching their carbs and (I think) those avoiding gluten.

I think your menu sounds lovely, but I agree with PPs to add ham or bacon. I'm not a sweets for breakfast person, so I'd gravitate towards the fruit, which isn't very filling.
That being said.. Anyone serving mimosas is doing brunch right and deserves kudos for that kind of refined menu
