What would be a good vining berry to plant on these? Is it advisable to mix
the plants like that?

That would *seem* to point to huckleberries and currants as your best
possibilities. Check too see if they will tolerate the heat you have there.

My own thoughts are to give up on the fruiting vine and just grow
ivy. Many ivys suffer in the sun and would seem well suited to your
limited light.

No personal experience here, beyond having a lot of english ivy! I'm
only posting because I don't believe anyone has an answer, so you are
getting questionable advice instead (just so you know)!

I don't have any suggestions for fruiting vines, but I would caution
against growing English ivy. Here in the Pacific northwest it's
considered an invasive species:

No doubt why I have a lot of it!
