Aesthics wise, I don't care
Function wise, it brakes great
The only concern is safety. Feels safe enough to me, but does anyone know any grave danger with this brake postion and cable routing?

Sorry about the description there are supposed to be line breaks in there but they got eaten
You could flip the brake levers around. Would have to shorten the cables and housing obviously, and redo the bar tape.
I’d find some TT bike levers so you could tuck the cable nice and neat.
you can get some well working and well priced time trial brakes. they route the line below the bar. so you dont have to go through the bar.
Did you have to spread out the lever clamps to fit the bar? Should hold up but not ideal. I would have just gotten some TT levers or even interrupter cyclocross levers on the tops.
I used to use road brake levers on bullhorns, positioned under the bar with the lever ends pointing forward. It had much better cable routing than shown.
