Glad to find this thread! I had to get Reaper up and running on a new PC recently, and encountered an issue with VST's not saving in projects. When I re-opened a project, the VST would be there in name only, and the MIDI was still there (and even showed on the meter when playing), but no sound. I would have to physically go in and "Replace FX" for those VSTs. I was mystified why some VSTs saved and others didn't, until I realized that the ones not saving were ALL 32-bit, INCLUDING multiple instances of Arminator2. So, apparently there was a bridging issue going on that affected not only the Arminator, but the other 32-bit instruments as well.
I tried the advice of simply rendering/freezing the Arminator instances - problem solved!
Being a computer DAW novice, I don't pretend to understand exactly how and why that bridging issue happens, but I guess I am glad to find a band-aid remedy to at least get me by...
