You are a bit out of date with this thinking. All season tires have taken a big leap forward in the last few years. The current DWS is an amazingly versatile tire. The predecessor was almost as good.
Actually, the DWS is quite competent in winter, just not on a BRZ. It is entirely feasible to run the DWS as an all weather tire all year. Nokian WR also but they are more oriented to winter capability then summer. Again, I would not put them on a BRZ.
The BRZ is comically incompetent in winter, although I will give it full marks for controllable slides with stability and traction control off. You are not likely to hit any guard rails assuming you know how to hang the tail out in the dry. With full winter tires on of course or you'll get nowhere.
