What are my options for full-body recumbent trikes?
I like varibike.
I don't like the mclean because of short handles and it looks cramped and awkward.
I don't like greenway because the hand controls are not practical for leg/arm alternating mechanics.
I don't like rowcycle.
What else is on the market?

Choices for quadrupeds are going to be pretty limited; custom or nearly so. I'm not aware of any commercial offerings besides the Varitrike.
What's a "greenway?" Do you mean Greenspeed?

A little more info about your riding and such would be helpful. Also, and introduction here would be great, too.

I'd say you've pretty much covered all the options already.
The McLean seems to be a one-off item built by a non-cyclist, so not too surprising if it's not optimized. (I read that as "M-Clean" first). https://mcleanmonocycle.com/abw-recumbent-trike-1/
I see a Greenspeed handcycle, but not a hand+foot cycle.
