This has all been covered in this thread already, but basically in my opinion you’ll not find a better solution than NP3 for fuss free, fire and forget writing unless you’re prepared to do a tonne of tweaking to the playback after the fact.
I personally just finished a film score in Dorico and the vast majority of it was composed using NP3 plus a few additional Kontakt/Play/Engine VSTs for percussion/effects, I simply accepted the fact that the sounds from NP3 are what they are (which is good enough for rough mock-up purposes) knowing that I would be able to improve on them once I got the MIDI exported into Cubase and ran it through my dedicated VSTs.
Compared to trying to do the same work with soundsets in Sibelius for years I’m already way happier with my current situation in Dorico.
