My experience with NI is that it is a great tool, super sounds available, good as it currently gets. However with all that power comes great responsibility. Using it in a DAW requires advance skills. But the limits are only what you need to learn next. In Reaper it can be awesome once you learn your way around.

Now, using it is BIAB [for me] has not happened. Maybe because I don't need it or want it in BIAB since BIAB is my sketch pad and I want quick results and good sound. Which I get without NI plugs. Having said that I can say I have tried adding VSTs and VSTi to BIAB but without much success. BIAB simply doesn't seem to be optimized for these tools. I do have my ear to the forums regarding how these may work in BIAB64 and hoping for some good news. But so far I have not heard much in that regard.

BIAB – 2025, Reaper (current), i7-12700F Processor, 32GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM, Motu Audio Express 6x6 - My SoundCloud (Tip: No need to create a SC account to hear music - just hit ESC ).
