My buddy and list member Kip just set up his Bomba with interruptors and thumbies on a Noodle last week, and it seems to work well, though getting all those cables routed in such a tight space requires some compromises in routing.
But why not keep the drop bar brake levers? The weight penalty compared to dummy levers is slight or non-existent, and the added safety of having those brakes on the hoods (esp. if you are used to having brakes there) seems worth it.
