I can switch outputs on the A+ Remote app and it remembers which of the 2 USB DACS or the optical output (to the AVR) it was last set to. I have Audirvana setup to autostart when the mini starts, but I leave it on. My current setup is back to ElCapitan running Audirvana, not free or even cheap, but maybe in this case you do get what you pay for. Consequently I had to use another WIFI router and a second network just for the mini and switch networks on our iDevices to access Volumino. I tried Volumino which is another headless server OS and it worked well but it couldn't use the mini's onboard WIFI. I wanted to try Daphile which is a headless server OS but couldn't get it written to a boot USB stick or DVD that the mini would boot up on. One reason or another there's a constant need for intervention. iTunes was not designed to be a headless server and the Remote App doesn't change that. I don't really see how going back in time and bolting up a bunch of add-ons advances that main goal. I'd plan for the longer term in which you would presumably want to keep your MM current with both the OS and the apps/configuration needed to support your music serving needs. could all be a waste of time, effort, and money. Thus, putting time and effort into different operating systems, core replacements, hi-res streaming and cataloguing applications, etc.
I'm guessing (and it's ONLY a guess) that Apple will take the opportunity to fix the Core Audio processor so the problems BitPerfect and Pure Music are designed to correct are no longer objects for concern.
On AirPlay 2, it's supposed to support FLACs (finally!) so hi-res streaming within the iTunes envelope should be at hand. I tend to keep everything up to date (at least with macOS (OSX) and IOS) although I'm not the first in line for updates/upgrades I wait until major bugs, if any, are discovered and corrected.

Life's tough enough without having to keep track of old versions of software and deal with its incompatibilities with newer versions. I like simple, but I like current even more.
