Regarding EBD.....I raced a 350Z for over a decade and I never heard anyone complain about the EBD on that car. "Ice mode" was a rare issue, but "How do I disable EBD?" Was a question that never came up.

Did Toyota/Subaru really design their EBD in such a way that it causes problems....but only for elite drivers?

If disabling ABS rquired its own secret Shoryuken combo, would people join that club too?.....and then declare that everyone who doesn't mind running with ABS are bad drivers?
Chill man, Im flattered that you call me elite but im very far from it. I speak from my own experience with it.

You dont need anything crazy to make those lights turn on with the button push. Simply do the 3 sec push, then do a redline clutch dump to spin your tires and look at your dashboard, MAGIC, the TC light in the center of the tach is blinking!

You want a more of it? Go to youtube and type best motoring 86gt. Watch as Keiichi Tsuchiya (namely kown as the drift king) races a bunch of 86gts around Gunsai Touge, he drives them with the 3 sec button hold (you can see both yellow lights on the dashboard) and yet, the Stability control light is flickering on every turn. Is it gonna kill you? No. Does it make you slower? Probably not. Wait till you lift 1 wheel of the ground while on the power, thats when things get interesting.

So to answer OP's question, the light in the center of the tach (yellow light with a car sliding) will turn on with traction lost, even if you do the 3 second push, it is the car's normal response.
