The more expensive ones let you do V calls or whatever, but is there some way to get calls in with the cheaper ones? It does have NDI

Considering :
1. What you've already spent on virtual audio cables + dante virtual devices,
2. as well as time invested in research and testing,
3. as VMix has a fully functioning 60 day trial version,
4. allows (from the specs), integration of multiple ASIO(e.g Dante as ASIO + M32 via ASIO, simultaneously) as well as WDM sources...
5. And does all manner of video streaming, mixing, etc..
6. Has a basic version for free(which may be just what you need) and some paid versions starting at $60.
You may want to :
1. Consider replacing OBS with VMix. (I've always considered that the challenge with an OBS based solution was its limited native support for well established standards such as ASIO - and Vmix solves this issue)
2. Invest some time in learning Vmix and testing it, for your specific requirements.
3. My quick look at its audio features indicates that it has support for an excellent audio matrix mixer within it with some matrix mixing functions.

"Channel Matrix
Channel Matrix is an 8x16 audio router built in to every input.
This can be used for simple setups such as routing a mono Microphone channel to both Left and Right, all the way up to advanced scenarios
where each of the independent NDI or SDI Embedded audio channels can be routed to one of the four stereo audio buses.
Each column represents a source channel, each row represents a destination bus that the channel can be routed to."
So rather than try to fix/workaround limitations of OBS, and poor native support for aggregating/routing audio in Windows, routing audio and video from your various sources, recording and streaming, could be done via a combination of virtual cables, VMix and Reaper.
Video is not my forte, but from a layman's view - Vmix looks pretty comprehensive, and an inexpensive or free version of it could just be what you need.
