Shimano BL-S705-L (Alfine Di2 LH brake lever for drop bars) is the same shape as modern mechanical STIs, so if you run cable brakes and mechanical shifting you can have (nearly) matching levers.
Ah that's interesting, wanting to run hydraulic unfortunately.
I don't think there's an elegant solution then. I wish Shimano would do a hydraulic/mechanical 1× groupset.
