You can pop the live session stems on there after recording and people can add, punch in or replace parts remotely.
But you can mix and master all in browser… for free

Bandcamp
Spotify, Apple et al
Then we have all the stems separate to mix/edit at leisure.

Guitar amp spill onto drum mics often sounds great. The other way round, not so much. So don't be conservative with the level of the amps.
The main source of bad sounding spill is usually the vocal mics, so it often pays to replace the vocals afterwards. I'll often nudge bands towards miming the vocals while they track, in the knowledge that they're going to be replaced.
Don't try to get all the instruments as far away from each other as possible. It won't significantly reduce the spill but it will make you play worse and will make everything sound ambient and washy. You're better off putting the amps quite near the drum kit.
Many rehearsal rooms sound like shit. Find one that doesn't.
Take a DI of the bass if you can.

There are a good few live desks that can record like the Tascam Model 12, Zoom L12 or L20 or wireless mixers like the Soundcraft UI24r.
If you want as much of the live band feel in a take as possible, these are the easiest and you can record gigs, Things miced do not need to go out front to be recorded.
The other useful thing is to capture a multitrack so if one of your members is away / ill etc you can run them virtually and still have their part going on.
We have been in the ridiculous position once playing some new stuff for the 2nd time where virtual alex was the only one who got the structure right
