Sure. The PX bars I have are the single-butted version. However, The weight of the bars is inconsequential relative to the rest of the bike, and I don’t recall them feeling overly heavy in the hand.
The back sweep is a very personal thing.. I like the multiple hand positions and the ability to get your weight back, but i do find the 45 degree angle slightly too much. It’s good for sitting bolt-upright, but a bit acute for the ‘normal’ riding position. I think the Koga Denham bar would be a good option as there’s slightly less backsweep, but it’s even uglier

Have you ever used the Jones bars? I put the Planet X knock-offs on my ‘Atb’ thing (almost as a joke) and was pleasantly surprised at how well they work and all the hand positions they offer. You can get a good low lean on the front, or use the generous sweep to really hang off the back of the bike for very steep technical stuff

No bar tape or working rear brake, but was able to thrash a little loop out. It’s very fast. The tyres roll well and the drops feel surprisingly good in the hands on fast technical descents .. but they need to be this high to work.
The chainset needs swapping to something with an MTB bcd, as the chainline is atrocious with the chainring on the outer position. The fork also feels like it could benefit from being a touch longer. It’s whippy, but slightly twichy. It handles like a road bike, laser sharp. Maybe a bit much so..
