Qn #2: Is the Zoom H4n decent as a a two track interface going into Reaper or whatever?

Possible to use as a stand alone 8 ch ADAT to Analog converter? A lot of MOTU boxes can do that. Manual should tell you how to set that up. If you have another box with ADAT you can expand your IO by 8 in/out.

Qn #2: Is the Zoom H4n decent as a a two track interface going into Reaper or whatever?

It's probably just fine.

I used an H4n to record a song that made it into two documentaries and a trailer for a Tom hanks movie and no one complained

The trailer was for The Post, but it was a very brief online ad that I can’t find easily, so uh, take my word for it..? . The same song was in the trailer for California Typewriter (also with Tom Hanks!) documentary and another documentary called Blunderwood, about the construction of a giant typewriter sculpture that someone commissioned.
