Is it awkward or impractical/uncomfortable using a screen with ~1500R curvature in Portrait mode?
What's your experience with that?

I personally don't use any display vertical, depends on your use case I guess. Like lots of streamers use a vertical display for chat, and stuff like that. I find it more useful and convinient to use all my displays horizontally, regardless if it's curved or not. As I said earlier, depends on your use case.

It's going to depend on what you're using it for. I build web applications and find a horizontal 1440p screen good for splitting in half.

  Curved will work as long as you have a big gas lift arm you can position the centre high enough, at which point it will be pointed down at you.

    the 1080p 24" range I linked can pivot theirself into portrait.
    is that what you meant?
    
    At minimum would be using vertical for text stuff, like long documents.

Yes it'll be awkward.

  Why?

It's not ideal as a main screen.

What works for others may not work for you.

So what curvature monitor has anyone used?;
and were the top+bottom angles weird/distorted vertically or not; or take getting used to or bothersome?

Would you have stayed with flat monitor for vertical instead?
