... So if you do play some gigs using just the laptop, let us know how that goes. I'd love to hear about it.

Very true ! (Read the LiveConfigs guide chapter on that issue, as well ! )
In fact I built an "embedded" PC (without monitor, mouse and PC-keyboard, without a FAN and with SSD, so no moving parts, I7 CPU, 16 Gig RAM) in a trunk together with an Audio6 (very low latency) A/D - D/A - Midi interface and DI for live playing with keyboards. This trunk is fine-tuned for reliably and performance, absolutely dedicated for this usage and hardly ever runs other software than just Reaper.
We also tested using GuitarRig, which did work fine but the Guitarist now uses a different gear.
I use the trunk daily for practicing and playing with the band and of course on stage for gigs. Up till now, it never failed me.
