There are at least some systems where you can take the stem out of the loop to gain you a bit of slack
this is exactly what I mean yes; a sort of happy medium where the cables are hidden/semi-hidden but a degree of slack can be introduced quite eaasily. I don't think I would ever consider a fully integrated bar+stem combo just because of lack of adjustment

I haven't seen any where the front brake hose doesn't go through the steerer. There's not really any other option (other than outside the headtube).
There are at least some systems where you can take the stem out of the loop to gain you a bit of slack, like the Syncros RR1.5 for example, but maybe you were implying a bar /stem combo by asking about fully integrated?
