None I can think of!

Try the Witti BBD Echo plugin from this pack. I like some of his other plugins too. Some are handy utilities, some are nice effects, some are a bit wonky. There's a through-zero flanger in the pack too. Under "dynamics" there's w_clipper which is a dynamic clipper, it's another of those "why aren't other people talking about this" plugins (IMO). And another that stands out is the transient plugin since it has no latency and works well (I find most transient plugins need lookahead but this does nicely without it, so it's good to have it handy).

A very satisfying one too.

Lol. I haven't tested under every possible scenario but I have several test projects designed to punish my CPU in various ways to see how Reaper reacts in various distros with different WMs, compositors and kernels.

My takeaway about distros: Xfwm4 and compton combined is my favorite. It has lots of ways you can customize it but it doesn't seem to affect performance of the system to any significant degree (so I can push the CPU hard in Reaper and it's stable). Plus video plays smoothly, and there's no screen tear anywhere. So I went with Xubuntu since it's the most up-to-date distro I know of which has Xfwm4 by default (then customized it from there).
