Some will; some won't.

I was happily using my RE-301 and a couple RDS-1900s on my end, neither of
which had MIDI, with a secondary looper using a drum machine or other and a
couple of old Library of Congress tape machines with pitch adjust.  The
technology never got in the way, nor did we have a problem that was noticed
live or in reviewing the concert tapes afterwards.

One show we did was that array plus a keyboard player using his echoplex
with about 1 minute on the spool as a loop; worked just fine.

It all depends on the quality of your musicians and how well they know
their equipment.

You'll find absolutists anywhere, who insist that without X or Y that Z is
impossible to attain.  Half the fun is proving them wrong. :)
