You do know that stab and stub braking is taught to drivers using unbalanced air brake systems? You either use the brakes or you don't, jerking them on and off will accomplish exactly nothing.
The biggest advantage of stab braking comes from systems with multiple wheel ends, the more the better. It is virtually impossible to adjust the brakes equally across all wheel ends. By braking hard you insure that all wheels brake, light braking may not engage the brakes on all wheels. You want to spread the heat to all wheels. And a combination of hydraulic and electric breaks is an unbalanced brake system, just not air.
