I bought a vintage bike that I could set up with the same position as my road bike. It seems like some of the bikes on the OP's list would make that difficult.
The only problem with my vintage bike is that it has chromed horizontal dropouts. I didn't realize how much of a problem that would cause. You definitely want vertical dropouts or through axle. Otherwise any big effort could cause it to slip, and you can't crank down on the QR or it will mess up the trainer bearings.

I have a downtube shifter for the FD and brifter for the RD. At first I had both on DT shifters, but zwift or any other road simulator really makes that impractical. Eventually getting rid of the DT shifter on the FD
