FWIW, I find bar end brake levers by far my favorite on such swept back bars.
With Alba bars I have the shifters mounted just around the inside of the curve
top, so my hands are free to use the whole bar. Using the brakes is so much
easier too than mtb levers since you can brake with either
I've had the same experience with them on porteur bars. Very little power
and the sit very low down from the handlebars. So unless you have very long
fingers, they are pretty hard to reach...
I really wanted to like them, but they just didn't work for me.

I have used them on some porteur handlebars, which are kind of like
narrower Choco bars. I personally wouldn't recommend using them. Heavy
braking is difficult from the ends. Because of the leverage you have on the
ends of the levers in an emergency stop, they may rotate on the bars, no
matter
