I've been running WSJT and WriteLog for over a year in the VHF contests. My
only issue is that I would like WriteLog to work like N1MM+ and grab the Qs
from WSJT and put them automatically in the log.

The trick is to use LP-Bridge (which I do with LP-PAN). I have WriteLog,
DX4Win, NaP3 and WSJT-X (and MMTTY during RTTY contests) running
concurrently with no problems. I only run a single K3 so don't know how all
this would work in a multi- radio setup.
