My understanding is that Reaper has a more mature feature set in this regard. That said, it is possible to do a number of things in Ardour already using Lua scripts: https://manual.ardour.org/lua-scripting/ and https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/tree/362b9cb4fa4fbacd0660b1...
I wrote some plugins for fun a few years ago in Lua: https://github.com/robsco-git/ardour-plugins
My understanding is that the plugins one writes for Reaper are compiled on the fly so I imagine they offer better performance.

Things are slowly getting better if you want to run Windows VSTs under Linux. I found this very interesting as a overview of some of the current possibilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsZnSg4DKDU
It is a demonstration for a proprietary DAW, Bitwig, but he does talk a lot about Windows plugins under Linux that I imagine applies to Ardour as well.

If you follow the "Ready-to-Run Program" prompts on the official download page[1] as an anonymous or unsubscribed user, you will reach a page that explains their method/philosophy.
I'm sure Paul would be happy to speak to you on IRC (#ardour on Freenode) about successes/failures but of course I can't say this for sure.
Also, I am awaiting a stream of Paul's upcoming talk (as I can't get to France for LAC2017[2]) "20 years of Open Source Audio: Success, Failure and The In-Between"[3]. I hope part of the talk will address the financial aspects that are of interest to you.

I have built something similar that works with LibreOffice Calc as the backend instead of Google Sheets:

I've recently adopted a similar approach. I have a virtual machine running the same OS and version as the target production machine. I'm using QEMU and connecting to it via ssh.
