Just harden the f*ck up and learn to use a front shifter. It will make you way
faster and the few grams extra down low in the center of mass really don't
matter at all.
Seriously, 1-by is a bag of bad compromises. And stop with the "no dropped
chains"-BS already, I don't drop a chain with my 2×10 setup either. The
narrow-wide chainrings do little to nothing regarding chain retention. The
clutch derailleur is where it's at, and it works just as well with two rings.
Plus: if you _do_ drop the chain with a front derailleur, it'll magically pop
back on with a spin of the crank. Doesn't do that on a one-by system without
guide…
