I do not see VST proxy host as a show stopper, it is not even bit bridging.
Have you actually seen ARA API? I am going to ask Celemony about conditions.
It can be that only DAW devs can get it, there are some special agreements and/or fees. In that case it is pretty clear that the only way to get ARA in Reaper is bumping core developers.
It can be that ARA for some reason can not be bridged throw Rea. Again, that will be a good technical argument to ask core developers.
Otherwise some DIY solution is theoretically possible. Who/when/how is another question.
PS. To avoid misunderstanding...
I am not a man from the joke "nothing is impossible for someone who does nothing". I mean technically I have sufficient skills to be that "3rd party developer". But I have many on-going and some planned projects, partially Control Surfaces, partially accessibility, partially both related. I was not expecting the crash of Cakewalk and I look at Reaper for several (quite busy at work) days only, so not yet "consumed" the manual, had just a brief look at API functions, not yet compiled any tests. So, let say I am a "N00b with background" here.
