If I was flying multitrack drum takes between recording bin and arrangement like that, I'd make a shortcut for flying up/down by 12 tracks with a single key stab. I would still never start making new tracks for new takes. I'd fly them to the final arrangement tracks as I described. (I'd have multiple sets for the drums if there was to be two instances of drums in parts of the mix or if there was some tricky cross-fading to do between some takes for some reason.
I think a few people are trying to suggest keeping it simple like that and keeping the new recorded item takes stacking up in lanes as Reaper does and adding some of the compelling comp features to THAT. Seems like a reasonable request (or at least it does without digging into the nuts and bolts and if you're already into this kind of workflow).
I'm not trying to modify your opinions or workflow, but that's how I'd handle that.
