Currently using Campy Centaur 10S shifters with SRAM WiFli RD and SRAM 12-32 cassette.
It works but not perfect. Would it be too weird to have a right SRAM shift lever and left Campy lever?
Not concerned about looks, just the difference in feel between left and right hand.
Suppose I would get used to it.

I think you answered your own question. It might feel strange at first, but you would get used to it.

I've used many mismatched combinations of shift levers on the tandem and on single bikes. It's never really felt odd to me, I've never even needed "to get used to it".

Maybe go with a bar end for the front derailleur and use just a brake lever on the left side? SRAM makes left brake levers for people who use 1x setups that have the same shape as the doubletap levers.

It can't be any weirder than back in the 1990s when some of the more weight obsessed pros would occasionally ride a bike with an old style downtube shifter on the left and integrated brake/shift lever on the right for mountainous stages in the Tour de France.

I have A friend I ride with A lot that has Campy on the Left and Shimano on the right and is happy with it. Looks A little funny but works good and no completes about the feel.

Another option would be to use A Campy or Shimano RD and a Jtec ShiftMate with the Campy shift lever. I have been a lot happier with booth of them then A SRAM RD and Campy shift lever.

I had the opposite experience, started with a JTEK and Shimano RD and found it to be inconsistent in its shifting and then switched to the SRAM RD.
I think I am wanting to have a matched system and the easiest cheapest option would be change the right shifter to SRAM.
I just don't know if I would be happy with SRAM shifting after having Campy on all my bikes, but willing to give it a try.
I know I don't like the feel of Shimano at least the older stuff.
Another option would be convert my rear wheel to Campy, get an Athena triple RD and a Campy cassette but then I am limited to 12-30 and its going to cost a whole lot more.

I switched from Campy to SRAM a few years ago, basically when Campy went 11 speed and I didn't have the wheels to follow. The rear shifting I've been perfectly happy with and I had not difficulties reprogramming my brain to go back and forth between Campy and SRAM bikes. Not so thrilled with the front shifting. I've never liked indexed front shifting, which was a big plus of the Campy design for me, and the SRAM setup is finicky. Also, the lack of ability to shift a triple can be an issue on tandems, where I've usually used bar end shifters for the front. I do actually have two singles with the aforementioned set up of a downtube shifter for the front and doubletap lever for the rear, not so much for weight reasons as just because I prefer it.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be keeping my Campy Centaur shifter for the front, it does work pretty well. I have also heard not so good things about SRAM front shifting, and that Shimano front triple shifters break a lot. I have Campy Chorus 11 speed on my single and its awesome, 50/34 on front and 12/29 on back which is perfect.
