What streaming rates are you hoping to achieve?

I'm suggesting running gnuradio on the N310 CPU so you wouldn't need
extra computers.  There would be no GUI, but you don't need one.

If you did decide to go the custom RFNoC route, it might not be too
bad assuming that
1) you can tolerate random relative timing between the transmit
channels so that you can use the existing 'replay' block
2) you can build an FPGA image (requiring Vivado license).  Note: I'm
not talking about doing any development, just a build.
3) you can modify the existing replay example c++ program which
presently only works with 1 Tx channel
