reliably. Not so easy. It will be done, but cycles will be spent.
Might as well go for a non-LTS next time, such as KXStudio.
Which LTS? I am also running an LTS (14.04) and jack (I have used
jackdbus pretty much from the start) has just worked. The API has not
really changed and I have had no problems compiling and installing the
latest SW or for that matter developing SW. The minor bug with this
version can easily be avoided by running Jack before anything else.
"Nice" to upgrade yes, "must", not so much.
In a world where the SW that is used is mostly "finished" not beta and
not still growing, LTS makes good sense. Even in the world most of us
are in, good stable work machines can be made using an LTS with the
Network cable pulled (even a non-LTS if it happens to have drivers or
sw the user needs).
This seems to be the issue the OP experiences:

Hello,
Before leaving I thought of doing a quick export to bring the audio
file with me but Ardour 4.4.0 refuses to export. Nothing happens.
Export starts and the progress bar does not move, but you can cancel
export? Are you using `jack2 --version` is less than 1.9.11 ?
If both are true: update jack or use a different engine to export.
Another option: some plugin in that session does not play nicely with
freewheeling. and a 3rd possibility: Are you using the alsa-loopback
device with jack (alsa_in/out)? On some systems this is apparently
breaks jack freewheeling.
best,
