I know that you don't use STI shifters but the following might be of
interest anyway.

That's precisely why I chose Campagnolo Ergo levers over STI when I decide to go that route back in the early 2000s. Many STI levers now also have the cables running under the handlebar tape.

Clever! My daughter's bike has STI, and on tours she used a handlebar
bag. This would have made things neater.

I think all the STI levers above Tiagra made in the last probably 10 years have rear exit cables. This is an issue for old retrofits and Tiagra or lower.

I was thinking that, but it is another tool in the armory of cable
routing. A few kinks in my cables could be sorted out in a similar
manner. E.g. I use one of these on the top tube;

All my bikes have them and I like them, but the rear brake cable has to
run against it one way or another. That noodly solution would be a bit
neater.
