Yes, it a time thing waiting year in year out for this to be added to the new Track view, eventually down the track it will have all this.
I think when the drag track data is added in the next release, and you can use that in Rv2 it will be a game changer for you once you start using it.
How it is now you have to select the instrument from a dropdown then select the Reaper track from a dropdown then click Send, the drag and drop will be much easier, not to mention the generate speed.
When it first came out we needed to go and make a cup of tea then come back.

I don't think you have Rewire in Rv2 ? with Rewire Biab and Rv7 you have the API so you can solo a new track in Biab and play it along with all the tracks in Reaper and if it sounds good you can instantly transfer it.

Another issue with Rv2 you don't have Tabs for multiple projects.
