I have always found that barre chord difficulty is driven in large part by fret height. Very low frets make clean barre chords difficult because your fingers bottom out on the fretboard. I don't generally find one neck geometry harder or easier. High action plays a role, as you know, but fret height can make any guitar with any geometry a challenge.
