To put this in perspective:
Current DPR with shield = 14.4
Current DPR with TWF (no style) = 19.8
DPR with TWF style = 22.8
DPR with Reckless attack while TWF (no style) = 25
DPR with reckless attack and TWF style = 29.2
DPR with reckless attack and extra attack while TWF (no style) = 35.3
***Assuming 65% chance to hit with your +1 sword
Useful perspective!
Just for clarification, is this all based on his current strength and sneak attack damage? And assuming rage is active and granting a bonus based on whether barb 5 is assumed?
Would be useful to look at level 10 (the earliest he could get extra attack), and compare, say, Barb 2 / Rogue 8 to Barb 5 / Rogue 5, with and without TWF. I would look at expected DPR over 6 fights of 3 rounds each, assuming rage uses a bonus action on the first round however many fights you have rages. I would be inclined to look at Sentinel and assume a reaction attack something like 25% of the time.
(I'll do this myself when I get a chance, but am on mobile now, so will be a bit)
I expect extra attack will still come out ahead, but will be worth less than 10 DPR.

Also, at Rogue 6 you could/should pick up Athletics Expertise, which combined with your high Strength and Advantage on Strength checks while Raging, makes you a beast at Grappling/Shoving.
Grapple + Shove Prone (or Grapple on an already prone enemy) = enemy cannot stand up = automatic Advantage and Sneak Attacks on melee attacks against that target, without having to use Reckless Attack and absorbing additional attacks yourself.
However, grappling/shoving requires a free hand. So grappling is another scenario in which you won't be able to utilize TWF style.
(Granted, it's a bit Action-intensive, but there are ways to deal with that, such as Extra Attack and/or feats like Shield Master and Tavern Brawler.)
