This. I've tried playing around with left foot braking at my local track for certain corners where a downshift isn't needed but I find it incredibly difficult to modulate because my left foot isn't trained for it. After playing with it for a few sessions, I've realised it's going to be a significant time investment before it will have any pay off so I've decided not to bother with it for now; there is more to be gained from other things I can focus on. I'll spend more time on it later down the road when there is more to be gained from it.
