Instead of trying to build my own touch bar, I'm now using [Karabiner Elements](https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/) to remap the existing keys on the touchbar to the desired behaviour.
The following configuration will remap the screen brightness, keyboard illumination and volume keys to change their settings in small increments:
