I have 11sp Gevenalle shifters on a double crank and love them. They are fantastic. Fast and accurate shifts on the rear and the front shifter is a friction so it can handle a triple without issue. The shifting is obviously different than bar end or STI, but its comfortable and intuitive.
If you get the Gevenalle shifters from Universal Cycles, use the discount VIP10 for a 10% off discount. $180 total then.

I am running for the last 3 years and XTR rear with an 11-36 cassette, and Ultegra front with 30-39-52. I have full use of all combinations.
I have 24 year old 9sp Ultegra STIs on a road bike. Bought em used. They work perfectly fine and I see no downside to them. If quarter century STIs work, I would think new ones would be great.
STI and triples arent my thing as I dont like the indexing, but Ultegra has a good number of trimming clicks which helps.
