There is no need to harmonize your control methods. It is common to have a hydraulic brake system with a mechanical emergency brake. Clutch operation can go either way, depending on convenience.
Push-pull cables are pricy - usually the inner wire only pulls, against a return spring, so you might use two, or a detent arrangement balanced against the Honda parts.
As to the high actuating force for the stand, I recommend a two-part action. Assuming a lever to deploy the wheels, the first half of the motion releases the landing gear, and gets it onto the ground by gravity or by spring action. The second half of the stroke applies an over-center clamp to hold the gear on whatever slope it has found the ground at, while the spring, if used, keeps stretching harmlessly. Both actions can be low-force at the handle, quick, and easily reversible.
I'd stick with all-mechanical. Cheap cables are certainly adequate for far finer adjustments to derailleur gear systems.
