This is not 100% true. It may be true with your body, or some other people's body, but not everyone is the same.
I put a set of aero bars on my bike because I wanted a position that took my weight off my hands. Now, when I'm out alone in the middle of nowhere I ride on the aero bars most of the time. I've very comfortable on them. Comfortable enough even to probably take a nap if I didn't have to pedal and look where I was going. And no, I'm not flexible. I can't even touch my toes (never have been able to, even when I was super skinny, rather than mildly overweight).
So, to the OP, I'd find a cheap used set and try them out. Something like a used Profile Design Century should be cheap enough. If you don't like them, put them back out on the used market.
