Workflow will of course vary by individual. You can step record articulation changes in the MIDI editor, or perform them live. (Articulations are activated either by clicking on them, or via one of the actions.)

I'm but a lowly hobbyist, but I find I do some kind of hybrid, where I sketch in something rough by triggering an articulation in the vicinity of what I want (longs for chords, legato, basic shorts, pizzicato), hack away at something live recording, and then go in afterward in the MIDI editor and massage the articulations (and other MIDI events) to be more specific.

The FX window reads: "The following effect plug-in could not be loaded."
Wow, I'm afraid I've never seen that before either. What happens if you manually insert the Reaticulate JSFX (and drag it to the top of the chain)? Or what happens if you restart Reaper and try?

Yes, but it works by step-input in the MIDI Editor. So you open the MIDI editor, enable step input, and then any activated articulation will be inserted at the edit position.

The exception to that is if a program change is selected: in this case, the activated articulation will replace the selected program change, even if it happens to not be at the edit cursor.

Yeah, a bit related to the way Reaticulate works, isn't it. At least in that one aspect of Reaticulate provides a simple GUI to inject program changes into MIDI items. The idea of a most recently used set of articulations being more easily accessible is interesting.
