Forgive me if I am having a brain fart (and please understand that I am still just learning the ropes with audio on Linux), but why not: - have your primary machine send suitable MIDI signals (note on/off, CC, patch change, etc; MIDI beat clock if you really need it; MIDI Song Position Pointer if you really need it) to your synths or samplers wherever they are, to get them to produce the right audio at the right moment? - And then send this audio to your (software or hardware) mixer by the most convenient means available to you that has acceptably low latency and acceptably high sound quality?
