I can use or restock this 110mm stem at the shop so I think it would be wisest to find the bars I like and then experiment with a longer stem.
Yes, compact bars have a good shape, but unfortunately for someone like you, they don't really drop that much. You might find yourself wanting to drop the whole bar lower, but then the hoods might be too low - or they might feel just fine. You would need to try it out.
Another bar shape that might work really well for you is
3T Tornova. For example (obviously, it would be rotated back when installed on a bicycle):
