maybe not easily but lever effort is quite a bit more than i'm used to is all.
so you are saying the sram hydro rims are only marginally better than cable calipers?
and well yea isn't it? the big difference is that there is essentially no friction in pushing a fluid through a tube compared to a cable in housing.

It will do, on account of the longer cable run.
Sounds good: being able to easily lock the rear wheel under braking, is not desirable.
No doubt. But if you want disc-brake-braking, then you need disc brakes: trying to make rim brakes perform like disc brakes is a fool's errand.
A lack of a transfer of force, isn't why disc brakes and rim brakes differ.
