Is there a Reaper plugin or extension that enables a pattern based workflow in REAPER?

I've used REAPER on and off for years but ultimately I started producing using grooveboxes that have pattern based workflows. Naturally, that's the way I tend to think about creating music (building loops and then creating separate sections by adding and removing things).

Right now, I tend to just have separate tracks for the original recordings of certain parts and those parts as used in the arrangement. It winds up being super cluttered, confusing and ultimately limiting as having to manage all of this on my own leads to me being a lot more conservative about what I do.

Do you all have any suggestions for plugins / extensions that could help with this?

Also, is this a deal where I should just be using a different DAW if I want this? I really don't mind REAPER for arranging and editing, it's just this specific thing that bothers me.

Could you start over from scratch if you lost everything?

Like, all your samples, your projects files, etc etc?

Asking because I kinda lost everything due to dealing with a life situation, but i don't feel particularly hurt because i have a process that I've applied in many different tools / machines / environment. but i could just be too optimistic.

To be clear I'm going to be super-proactive on saving everything in the cloud going forward. I'm not asking this to suggest that being able to function with/without makes you better/worse, just curious about this because of my situation.

Hey, just signed up a few days ago. I notice that I don't have any project opportunities. I'm wondering if I don't have enough skills? I currently have Python and Generalist. What skills should I get to assure I get more projects? Also, I'm guessing I should expect to not hear back for months?
