I use lidarr to index my music. lidarr connects to prowlarr for searching and to nzbget for downloading. It does NOT however handle my library (no importing or renaming) that is done by a cron job which runs an import by beets. beets handles the music import, tagging, whatsoever and pushes the downloads into the library.
Then I connect front-ends like plex (and play with plexamp) or LMS to my library.
Not 100% automated as beets cannot handle everything on its own, and sometimes I run it manually, so it can ask me for corrections.
This is the way. If Lidarr can not rename, beets kicks in and does finishes the job.
