I would certainly take a punt on them. Do or die trying

Huret Jubilee. Probably the lightest and weirdest derailleur ever envisaged.

For TT’ers the fabulous Modolo Kronos Caliper we’re great with the main flaw of wouldn’t stop you in the wet & pretty poor in the dry but then TT’s were not about braking

Another Delta style brake - weird for sure - I have never seen another set here in USA = Weinmann
I am not sure how wonderful - have yet to mount them on the intended rider (which stops well enough with dual pivot calipers).

For a Delta style brake they are pretty good stoppers. The Campagnolo versions: not so much!

Love a Jubilee, especially a drillium one (which is slightly heavier!). But a Walter edges it for the weight weenie title -

I bought a bike with the clip in Merckx pedals on it. The guy (a farmer) only used them with Welly boots. Having attempted unsuccessful clip in/out, I could see why the choice of footwear, was choice...

I had a clubmate once who always came out in wellies in the winter.
