I think I have read that the play 5 gen 1 won’t work on the playbar. To give surround sound 

You are partially correct: it’s the Gen 1 Play:5’s that can’t be used as surrounds to any home theatre device.

So if one was to hardwire the Sonos Play 5 Gen 1 would they work? I understand not suppurting 5Ghz but would not need it hard wired

No, the Play:5 (Gen1) can’t be used as surrounds. Hardwiring does not change that fact.
