What could cause all electrical outlets and lights on the same circuit to go out without tripping the breaker?
GFCI and overcurrent protection (breaker) work in different ways. Suffice to say the GFCI is ~2000x more sensitive and trips long before the typical household breaker. So it's normal for a GFCI trip and the panel breaker to remain closed.The electrician is correct regarding GFCI devices. One GFCI device can protect multiple downstream outlets but some homeowners want a separate reset per floor or each bathroom to have its own reset, etc.As for the hair dryer... you're trying to eliminate trip sources so just leave it unplugged between uses and you'll get your answer.Typical trip sources are the GFCI itself (defect/damage/age) or an appliance of sorts. Then there's rodent or water infiltration issues. Anything you plug into the GFCI circuit is a potential trip source even something seemingly innocuous as a nightlight or air freshener, USB charger, anything that fits into the plug.

Can this controller be replaced with a controller thats not nema 4
Whether or not a NEMA 4 controller can be replaced with a controller that is not NEMA 4 depends on the specific application. NEMA 4 controllers are designed to withstand water and dust ingress, so they are often used in outdoor or harsh environments. If the controller is being used in an environment where it is exposed to water or dust, then it is important to replace it with a NEMA 4 controller.
Overall, it is important to consult with a qualified electrician before replacing a NEMA 4 controller with a controller that is not NEMA 4. The electrician can assess the specific application and recommend the best controller for the job.
