Ribble has 10 speed double veloce brifters for just under $100 (pre ship). You can hub-bub any shimano RD and get a better 9 speed match than even the 11 speed brifters throw, which is also perfectly good. Just google "shimergo ctc" and you'll get to a link that has all the details.
I think you could outfit your touring rig with the just slightly more expensive triple veloce 10/3 brifters, but currently they are out of stock. I have the triple brifters working on a converted to drop bar mountain bike, and they have enough range to pull even the longer pull MTB top pull front derailleur. With a bottom pull road derailleur you'd have plenty of nice trim options across the three rings. Personally, I prefer brifters to bar ends. To me they offer better control when things get tricky, having your hands covering both the brakes and shifters at once.
