The problem with using the Nanokontrol is that it's good as either a control surface for tracks and transport, or as a general button/knob box for effects, softsynths, etc. but switching from one to the other isn't fun. If you have it set up as Mackie Universal Control protocol for tracks, bad things happen when you use it for other things. Then you have to change profiles in Reaper for said control surface in order to not have conflicts. Even if you switch profiles in the control surface itself, you'll have some fun issues to deal with DAW-side if you don't also change how messages from the box are handled.

If I had more than one surface, I'd use the Nanokontrol for effects only, and something else for basic track stuff.

>>> Reaper on the mac can be useable when you get the hang of it. VO see most everything in the man in window, but due to none of it being in containers it can make navigating a bit cumbersome  at times. Also most the things we will need to access by the keyboard do not have keyboard shortcuts assign by default. I made some to make edit and etc a breeze. Also you will want to grab the SWS extension for reaper which includes a tool called reaconsole which will help elevate some of the navigational headaches caused by not having things in containers. As you get more familiar with it you may also want to set up hotspots or use item chooser to jump to certain things quickly.  Any questions along the way just shoot me a line.  I can get you a keycap file with a lot of the needed keyboard shortcuts added already  but i need to do some documentation for it. Any questions just ask as you explore.
