How to replace IPE with Layout Builder?

Problem/Motivation

I am trying to set up a D9 site that will allow site Editors layout flexibility. I have read a ton of articles on how awesome Layout Builder is and how it finally does what Panels couldn't do... hmm.. Yet, after a few days of various LB addon module tryouts; I still can't sort out which set of modules provides the basic IPE functionality.

What I need is a set of layouts (per bundle) that Editors can choose from and then a set of blocks they can select from to add to the selected layout.

Ideally certain things would be placed into those layouts that could not be moved by the editors: title, tabs, etc. as well as body text or other fields set in default places in case the editors didnt want to add any additional blocks.

I think this was pretty simple to set up with Panels/IPE. Is it possible with Layout Builder (and any combination of additional modules)?

    This was answered in #2 and @liquidcms was going to do some more work. I think this can be closed now.

    The Drupal Core issue queue is not the ideal place for support requests (that option is mostly there for filing support issues for contributed modules and themes). There are several support options listed on our support page → (Community > Support at the top of Drupal.org) and there is Drupal Slack → . Drupal Slack and the Forums, which are our two main support mechanisms in the Drupal community.
