If you're only using it on Zwift and even with virtual shifting, why not forget about the cassette and shifters entirely and just use the Zwift cog instead?

I do Zwift for just riding around or racing, but when doing workouts I do them on a phone app or on my Garmin and always turn off ERG-mode for efforts >threshold (because that's what you're supposed to do, or so I've heard).
using the small ring is less noisy than the big one, at least on my machines. It assumes ERG mode / virtual incline though, otherwise obviously you spin out.
on alix,
BB is 10-12 eur.
crankset can be had for <40 eur w rings, i think, if you buy the cheapest, heaviest ones. Fairly good one costs 45 (crank & rings) (I recently specced that on 2 bikes for friends, perfectly legit stuff).
sensah mechanical w mechanical brakes, i've used, it works. A friend is very happy with the ltwoo R9 mechanical, hydro, i suspect they do the same, cheaper, mechanical / mechanical. If you go 10 speed or less, it gets really, really cheap, but idk if it's as good as the 11s stuff i'm talking about, i simply do not know.
11s cassette is 20-25 eur.
All shipped to Europe as of a few weeks ago.
Sensah is an option for sure. Was looking for 10 speed stuff but reviews and stuff are few and far between.
