Flat bar to drop bar conversion Help please

Hi I have a giant fastroad advanced 1, love the bike but I think the time has come to move to drop bar,
in not a serious cyclist and I'd hate an aggressive set up.

But think I'd appreciate the narrower grip plus my hands are often uncomfortable despite having ergon gp5 grips, I find the additional hand positions the ergon offers put my wrists at an uncomfortable angle .

I know I'd need new shifters handle bar redo cables etc which is fine, and I think the geometry would work out reasonably OK.

But I've read that I may also have issues with the brakes??
having never had a drop bar I've no understanding of compatibility issues, could anyone please tell me if these brakes would be compatible with drop bar shifters
I will include picture, thanks in advance
