My gravel bike and one of my touring bikes use Paul MiniMoto’s, which have been described as V brakes that are designed to work with short pull levers. Have not found them to be particularly fiddly, even when putting the bike back together after travel. Very happy with the stopping power and while that’s certainly an option for this next build, was intrigued by your statement, as my experience with several canti equipped bikes was less than satisfactory, even after a great deal of reading, research and comversation with other canti users. As a side note have also not been particularly pleased with centerpull brakes like Mafacs, even when equipped with modern pads.
