The configuration you sent me does not work for me, but I think it is for other reasons.
It works for me like this:
1) All tracks involved must have the same bus as their output.
2) That bus must have the extra channels added to receive returns.
3) Do not touch the gain settings in the inserts, leave them all at 1 (Send, effect, no effect).
4) In the track that receives the sidechain, start the plugin chain with a plugin that allows you to mute the sidechain channels. (Mixer 'n' Trigger does the job well.)
Try this configuration, which I attach in the example.
If it doesn't work, maybe it's Jack's thing, I have no problem with PipeWire.
PipeWire today, in version 0.3.84, gives me better latency performance than Jack, with the advantages in added connections.
