It sounds like any momentary switch can be repurposed. Finding one that isn't too colossal, mounts nicely, etc, is problem one (the one you picture is quite deep, has big lugs for solder, etc. check the mechanical drawing).
The bigger issue is that it sounds like climbing shifters have to be plugged into DI2 shifter units, as satellites? You can't just have them on their own? I am not sure on this, DI2 is a complete mystery at times, and what you can/cannot do seems wildly variable. But you might not be able to have just satellites.
