the beef isnt with using the drive train as a brake, its with not having some form of redundancy should that braking mechanism fail. cars have park/e-brakes for a reason...
doing the double chain setup would be a form of redundancy, but there is still the traction limitations of only using the back wheel.
SS with just one brake is equally lame.
