I'M GONNA GET YOU DUCK

I've never actually gone through with it, but the answer I got when I had a similar question was to use MainStage. It's been a while since I checked it out, but it seemed like exactly what I was looking for and from what I remember it seems like it was built to handle the stuff you're talking about. Hopefully someone else who's actually used it will have a more in-depth explanation, but if not I bet there are tutorials on YouTube or something. It's definitely used in pro settings, too—I remember seeing a video about the setup for one of Nine Inch Nails' tours and a bunch of stuff they did was routed through laptops running MainStage (although they had the mixer keeping an eye on those instead of the drummer).

i mostly do post, but i measure impulse responses to calibrate a space whenever i set up a smaller studio. once you have that you can apply a global eq curve to correct for any resonances or cancelations happening. i've never heard of it being used in a live room, but that's cool! (if that's what it is, i mean)

yep! i have a set of IFBs i use when i do location sound for movies, and it's one Tx for two Rx. transmitter sits in my bag, scriptie and director each get a headset so they can hear dialogue. i've also used them as camera hops. theoretically you can have as many recievers as you want--i only work small stuff as a side hustle so i only have the two, but a buddy of mine has a big kit with 16 because he does commercials and those usually have a bunch of folks from the ad agency that want them.
