Quick take: I think it's really only your insistence on using laptops that
forces most of this complexity on you.
Get a powerful desktop system. Run everything on one machine.
Yes, there are Rack patches that will eat even a Ryzen ThreadRipper, but
for the most part a powerful, large multicore system these days will run
everything you want on a single machine.
As far as synchronizing different applications, is this really a common
workflow? Yes, once Hydrogen was the goto solution for linux drum stuff
(and it's still a GREAT application). But with the advent of things like
DrumGizmo, you can now avoid the multi-application-sync-communication
issues and do most of each stage of musical production inside a single
application.
