If you soak or steam them after gluing, the bond will definitely release.

If it was me, and I tend to overthink everything, I'd steam the sticks, (not soak) then clamp them into shape until they dry, then glue them

The jig is the key, and it doesn't need to be complicated for an arch. 3 pins, two clamps.
