Dear Robert, Re: brand choices for 1x gears with a bar-end shifter: SRAM Force 1 and matching indexed bar end.
It has a wide-range clutch rear derailleur designed specifically for a no front derailleur condition. I use the integrated lever version, and it works well. The derailleur looks more mad max than Jetsons, but the future isn't what we expected either. I believe Shimano also offers 1x specific derailleurs, but they weren't compatible with bar emds. This may have changed with the GRX group release.... I would also suggest using a narrow-wide chainring or chainguards with a 1x11 setup. That consideration may affect your crank choice.
