I assume this is the place to ask this question since you are the guys with the technical acumen.
I am very smitten with the look of the old fashioned, pegs jutting perpendicular to the head stock, look.

Here's my question: what's the deal with friction tuners? Are they a viable option? To me, who knows nothing, they seem obsolete. Most ukuleles have geared tuners and I assume there's a good reason for that.
I am going to have a long-neck tenor custom built and I want the friction tuners (for the frivolous reason of how it looks). Do you guys think it is wise, or at least feasible?
