Multiple RGB outputs
Sweet. Then pretty much any arduino or other microcontroller would take care of what you need. The strips only take one output pin plus power and ground so just about everything will work for driving them. They act like a long shift register so the single pin is all that's needed to load the full strip with whatever patterns you want regardless of the length. You just have to tell it how many LEDs there are in total is all. Check out the FastLED library. You can learn more about it there and/or install the library in the IDE by pressing "ctrl shift I" for windows or "command shift I" for mac and search for it in the upper search area and install it right there. It comes with working examples too so all you would have to do is install the library, load one of the new example sketches that came with it, and probably edit the example to change the NUM_LEDS count to match what you're working with.

Help with Teensy + FastLED using 74HCT245N with WS2812B LEDs
You could try the WS2812Serial library for the Teensy instead of FastLED for a further test. It also works with Pin 17 on the Teensy 4

Is FastLed compatible with Teensy 3.x or 4.x?
A very good alternative to OctoWS2811 is the WS2812Serial library, by Paul Stoffregen too.

Teensy 4.0 serial problem with FastLED
I confirm https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/WS2812Serial works great with Teensy 4.x.

Unable to get FastLED 3.4 working on multiple strips in parallel with Teensy 4.0
Use WS2812Serial instead, as suggested in the posts you mentioned.
What are some alternatives?
WLED - Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!
OctoWS2811 - Control thousands of WS2811/2812 LEDs at video refresh speeds
