I've used a lever post and it worked fine. It's not quite as on-the-fly as a handlebar remote; your action has to be a little more deliberate because you're taking a hand off the bar to operate it. You don't say if you are running SRAM or Shimano but SRAM has the Matchmaker mount system that mounts shifter pod to the brake mount and that cleans up the real estate on the left side some. Otherwise. just mount your dropper lever inside of your brake mount - - it'll be a bit of a stretch but still a bit more convenient than a post lever:
There are also aftermarket mounts like ReMount that group all three (shifter, brake, dropper) all into one tidy package.
