When you're modifying the client-side form with JavaScript, are you
updating the 'counter' hidden field, so the form builds the correct
number of Repeatable reps during $form->process() ?

Also, for the new rows, are you correctly incrementing the field names?

If it doesn't seem to work - dump $form->params(), so you can see
which params are being accepted.
