I do it exactly that way. I have even the same soundfont in different
tracks, because I want to mix, pan and process them idepently. No reverb
for the kick drum, reverb for the snare and the toms.

I never experienced this. Maybe it's some kind of CPU problem, running
on the limit. Do you have "RT" values (bottom of the Rosegarden window)
bigger than 50? Try to double jackd's -p value (period size).

The sounds that are produced by synth plugins go to audio connections,
not MIDI connections. If you have no other programs or hardware that
needs MIDI data then don't mind about Rosegarden's MIDI out, only audio.
I recommend:
- Start jackd manually, e.g. via Qjackctl or a shell script
- Configure Rosegarden in Edit -> Preferences -> Audio
uncheck "Start JACK automatically"
check "Make default JACK connections for audio outputs"
