I’ll entertain any option, my principal concern is reliability though, triggers seem to be a bit more over engineered.

Shimano trigger shifters are probably some of the most reliable pieces of kit in the world. I’ve got some 20+ year old XT shifters that still work excellently. Depending on a few things you might need to open them up and lube/grease (or spray gt85 and wet lube through the cable entry hole) them every 10 years or so but yeah, that’s an easy job and I’ve never seen a rapid fire fail.

At some point, you have to conclude that the ~£20 Shimano SL-R2000-R Claris trigger is the simple and reliable solution if you don't want to spend a pile of money on some boutique Rube Goldberg device.
