Twisty Shifters On Touring (Butterfly) Bars

My touring bike has twisty shifters on a butterfly bar. I’ve been having issues with hand discomfort and numbing and the butterfly bar seems to help significantly. The twisty shifters seem to work okay but seem a little iffy in use and like they may not be too durable. Do others have experience with this type of shifter and If I were to change out these shifters what would be good options?

Butterfly bars are new to me and the brake lever locations are different enough from straight bars and drop bars that I’ve had issues with finding the brake levers when quick braking is needed. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
