Why would I listen to algorithmic Bach compositions when there are so many of Bach's own work I have never listened to?
Even if you did get bored of all JS music, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach has over 1000 works himself.
There are also many genius baroque music composers outside the Bach family.
This is true of any composer really. Any classical composer that the average person has heard of has an immense catalog of works compared to modern recording artists.
I would say I have probably not even listened to half the works of all my favorite composers because it is such a huge amount of music. There is no need for some kind of classical music style LORA.

There are many artists, across the spectrum, like that for me, from geniuses that are just outside my own taste, to mediocre "one hit wonders" where I realise why they only had one hit when I listened to the rest of their catalogue but reallly would like more like that one hit (or handful)
And even when you like a broader selection of a composers music, there are time you might want "more of the same" of a specific piece. E.g. I quite like Beethoven, but I love the Moonlight Sonata, not just for what it is in itself, but the general systematic exploration of repetitive and slowly shifting of it.
There are other pieces by wildly different composers that invokes similar systematic exploration of patterns [1], but I'd also love to be able to hear more new "improvisations" over specific instances tuned very specifically to the aspects I like.
[1] On the extreme other "end" of these types of shiting repetitive patterns, I love Rob Hubbards Delta in-game theme of 11+ minutes of patterns repeated and iterated over as an illustration of the wide range that I like for much the same reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOpIbm_XX-k
You can also find a slightly less shrill modern remake, though it also adds a bit too much for my taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WE6av3g_8I&list=RD-WE6av3g_...
