I would hope that proper traction control fed the power the most

suppressed.

Your hope would be misplaced. But do some reading on how a
differential works

I'm well aware of how differentials work, both left/right and front/back
ones.

- it has exactly the same effect with a massive reduction in complexity
over what you propose. Essentially the brake is not having to absorb
anything.

If you want 75% of the power put on the road through the left wheel, and
25% through the right wheel, how does braking the right wheel achieve
that without absorbing some of the engine power?
