Thanks a lot Friedrich (and to the author Nicholas) for pointing me to rotter!
I did a few test and indeed it's looking exactly what I need so far. I might just need to tweak it a bit so I can specify which channels exactly to get the inputs, and make sure that it can run multiple recording processes concurrently.
Meanwhile, more suggestions and hints are still most welcome. Thank you!

chunks of 1 hour length called 'rotter':

I didn't use this application for quite some time, so I don't know
whether this program still does what you are looking for. But at the
time I used the program it just worked: lightweight and solid.
rotter requires that you run the jack audio server (you would let jack
run all the time).
For sure there are other (better?) options that I don't know of, but
your goal (continuously in 1 hour chunks) seems to be exactly what
rotter was built for...
