I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, so I'll over-answer, I think.
With the pedal dance, if lockup is detected at any wheel, the system goes into ABS activation, rather than trying to optimize deceleration by re-distributing braking force to wheels that still have grip. Without the pedal dance, brake force is redistributed.
EBD can often disguise poor brake balance, because the computer is largely compensating for the poor brake balance. The issue is, EBD is reactive, not proactive, so there's always a loss while the compensation is being executed; there's a time delay for the reaction to happen.
Likewise, brake torque vectoring ala e-lsd, is always a subtractive force; you are fundamentally being slowed down.
Performance applications of EBD and E-LSD exist; that is not what the 86 has. The 86's versions are reactive safety systems, not proactive performance enhancing systems.
