Yes - it will take two IOCs. As far as Waves only - that it just for low latency monitoring to the performers. The session can have whatever you like in it with no impact on RTL for a live track.
Now 32 channels of Mytek, Forssell or similar is not a cheap bunch of converters. And 32 channels of that into pro tools is not going to be cheap either. With that kind of investment going (and assuming there are Mic Pres, mics and everything else that makes a top notch recording room - the idea of just going with a pair of Digital 192s (or AVID I/Os) + either HDN or HDX is a very conservative and as JFreak said (and I mostly agree - but is anything really trouble free - LOL!) - is a totally supported platform for AVID - including all current control surfaces and future AVID ones.
So maybe you have to explain a little more about how this system came about, what its used for and what are the top 3 priorities in changing it.
Lastly - I have always heard that RME had great and solid tech. RTL of 5/6ms sounds wrong to me already. I would investigate what is causing this. I would expect these converters and that interface to be more like 2ms (maybe better) at 96kHz and 64buffer.
