The rest can be done with standard pedals/FX but you need a certain type of modulated reverb sound to get contemporary ambient. You may be able to create your own if the multi FX allows you to have parallel FX paths and free choice of FX types in the FX chain.
If not, you may need a seperate reverb unit. Some dedicated reverb pedals that are cheaper than the Strymon should also get you there, but a lot might just give you one modulated reverb sound.
The Eventide black hole pedal is also great for big/huge moving reverbs (I have the software version back from when it was free), but it’s not really much good at more standard reverbs (IMO), so for me I’d prefer something more versatile at that price.
Same old thing, no one box solution.
Saying that, if you’re on a tight budget, the Zoom MS70 is capable of surprising results, getting those modulated reverbs, using multiple high-def verbs with a chorus on the end, gets you into Eventide territory, not a pedal, but the Behringer FX2000 is amazing for the money, the verbs are incredible, and it is, very versatile. Those two units can be had together for just under £200.
The only one box solutions, maybe, I’ve come across are the high end Lexicons, you can go from realistic spaces, to far out, at the flick of a preset.
