Dear Community, Is there anything reliable like the vector pattern brush in Illustrator in Affinity Designer?

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge the answer is no. The "vector brushes" in Affinity applications are in fact just raster images which get stretched out. Pixel based brushes for use on vectors.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Maybe the Vector Brush Tool, but it depends on what exactly you need.

Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.5.7.2948 (Retail)
Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, Build 26100.2605.
Dell Latitude E5570, i5-6440HQ 2.60 GHz, 8 GB, Intel HD Graphics 530, 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, Build 26100.2605.

No.

Left: Vector Brush Tool (Affinity Designer); Right: Pattern Brushes (Illustrator):

UPDATE: Using a high-resolution .PNG file as an image or intensity brush in Repeat mode allows you to have a repeating pattern:

...but if you seek Illustrator kind of control, and ability to have multiple colored shapes as vectors:

...then no.
