Really? Won’t there be a lot less leverage due to the longer cable pull? I assumed that was why v-brakes callipers are so long compared to cantis

With V-brake levers on Cantis, you just end up with a very short lever throw. Some people like it because it gives your brakes are a very on-off feel.

With Canti levers on V-Brakes, you end up with too much lever throw, sometimes reaching the bar before the brakes have fully engaged the rim.
