Yeah, it works great and considering that you can get a derailleur and shifter for <£50 (used) it's a pretty good setup.

He's routed the cable under the tape in that one. Maybe it's the weirdly shaped cables in the other bike, don't imagine they'd feel good under the bar tape

I use a similar setup to you. Friction bar end shifter with X something sram 10 speed derailleur. I've routed the cable under the tape and it works fine, I know it's not indexing, but the derailleur returns very smoothly

I'm using the indexed right-hand one, but I could envisage taking the non-indexed front shifter as a spare if I was going on a month-long tour of Mongolia or something crazy. Is it not difficult to be accurate with a 10-speed cassette and no indexing?
