Sorry I gave a false solution initially and delete the post.
So, if I could summarize what you want, it would be, the ability to only have one or two tracks lane expanded, and the rest closed, but still have the edits mirror properly to the other tracks that have lanes closed?

I just watched a couple pro tools videos on Playlist/Group comping drums, I’m failing to see major differences, so I’m struggling to deduce what you’re getting at.
Also, I don’t think I’m losing sync by using the comp tool… Can you make a screen capture video of what you’re doing please?

Obviously this is less tracks, but, just look at the kick and snare, or only the overheads?
- In folder with group activated
- I am shift selecting the tracks, ctrl+alt+L open lanes
- comping with comp tool
- Selecting all events,
- events to part
- and then if you wan to break the part apart, you can use disolve part.
