E.g 2. Dirt roads as per above it can intrusively activate when not required which can cause loss of control.

Whaaat? Highway driving when it buckets down with rain and TSC is intrusive? Mate, have you heard of "adjust your driving to the road conditions"? When it buckets down (I have encountered this several times in NZ as well as AU) you dont go driving with 100km/h. Is like saying that in a 40km/h zone, the speed bumps are intrusive because, heck I wanna go fast! Not disregarding your driving experience, but on the highway you would have others that would drive slower so there is no point to go crazy in a cats and dogs type rain! So yes, I admit, it would be intrusive and can really cause loss of control ONLY if you drive with more than it is necessary to the road conditions.
Dirt roads, again similar situation! Unless you do a rally stage in a Carlos Sainz or Seb Loeb style then yes, they are intrusive, otherwise for normal driving (keeping it under/up to the speed limit) they should not cause any loss of control mate!
