I'll echo what has been stated before. I learned to drift in Assetto Corsa, then purchased my BRZ and found that most of the skills translated over. I have to agree with you on the butt feedback. It's alot easier to feel the car oversteering and understeering in real life than a sim since I can only rely on wheel feedback and visuals in a sim.
For oversteer and understeer practice in real life, I usually just go to an empty parking lot after fresh snowfall and go to town. It's pretty easy to get the tail out at slow speeds and the risks are pretty low.
The other practice I have done was a rainy open track day. That's higher risk though as the speeds are higher and there are other drivers. But I definitely learned a lot more about car control beyond doing donuts in the parking lot.
