I did not recommend Calf Fluid for several reasons.
Calf Fluid is capable of handling multiple channels at once (from the plugin interface), so it makes more sense to use it on a bus, not a track.
You also have to know that the channel number of the track must match the channel selected in Calf Fluid, which is why I consider it more complex to manage.
And finally, in Qtracktor Calf Fluid loses the name of the SondFont file (sf2).
This is because the lv2 Qtractor plugins compress this information, and apparently Calf Fluid does not know how to read it from the interface.
Since it is compressed, you cannot read it within the session xml file either.
It has already happened to me in old sessions when I opened them, and since the soundfont had changed its location, it did not load. Since this information was lost, I was unable to restore the original instrument, as I did not know what it was. I ended up playing something similar, but it wasn't the same, so I had to readjust the mix and the final master to the new sound (eq, compression, etc.).
These are the reasons why I have stopped using Calf Fluid and why I do not recommend it.
It was long to explain, but hey, since you gave me the opportunity I ended up doing it :-)
