I am all for whacky set ups but I would in your case rather have good retro-friction shifters on that derailleur or update the whole shebang if I wanted proper indexing. If your issue is maybe reaching down and fiddling you might consider Gevenalle.

I really love a good friction shift actually, I mean indexing is great and most of my bikes index but a friction front derailleur especially is so great.
