Hmmm, Shimano seem to have abandoned making MTB RDs for men, looks like you're going to have to suck up the price of the road levers if you want 11-speed and a 34T low. There's a Metrea (SL-U5000) lever which is readily available as RH only for about half the price of a pair of SL-RS700 which will work with the RD-R7000-GS RD or RD-RX800-GS if you think a clutch is a worthwhile thing, those seem to be the two 11-speed RDs optimised for a 34T low without going up to Ultegra or DA

MTB is probably going to be cheaper, the flat-bar road shifters are expensive, partly because they just are and partly because it's not easy to get right hand one without also being stuck with the left hand one.
