That's it.
Can I spend n+1 hours learning Realband? Maybe but will it help me with the stuff I do as above? Dunno.
I am a musician and this is a practice tool for me.

For your particular task, I believe it can be done in BIAB.

I've attached a screenshot of a website for the song so you can check to see if it's the correct song. If it is, download the midi file and open/import it into BIAB. The midi file notes should play and sound correct Then you simply select instruments to make it sound good for your practice.

Another method is to save each section of the song into individual songs and use the Song Medley Maker to create a single song from each saved section and Medley Maker creates a new Chord Sheet merged from the individual songs. Song Medley Maker treats between the songs as transitions (0-16 bars in length) and creates appropriate chords of 1-16 bars.
Caveats are the first 'song' must be 4/4 which could be silence so there's a short pause before the song begins in a transitioned 9/8
Second caveat is song length is limited by 255 bars. With repeats this can be extended. Description from PGM in the screenshot.

Also note in the Medley Maker description screenshot, PGM recommends not to use RealDrums in songs similar to what you're attempting. The time stretching is too extreme.
