On Windows that's what I'm doing always, alt-tabbing is fastest imho.

Nobody prevents you from remapping ctrl-v to do what you want.
The "block" selection is not lost, you can still start selection by v
then switch to block by ctrl-v - I just assume that you use block
selections less often than pasting ..

That's why you should consider using 'clipboard' setting or such, to
make more "clipboards" be the same.

If last deleted texts are gone you can get them by ctrl-r 1 2 3 4
eventually, or use u for undo .. there is a also a yankrink like vim
plugin (emacs style) - but never used it.

Last but not least you can automate much more by using crazy tools such
as autohotkey (windows) - for linux there might be similar tools.
