I suspect that with VSC, Vehicle Stability Control, and TC, Traction Control, rear engine and rear drive will be less of a problem than having the stearing and "drive" at the front.
Besides which it has already been well proven that FWD engine compression braking, or in the case of today's FWD hybrids, regenerative braking, can be even more dangerous on a slippery roadbed than a RWD vehicle of any sort, let alone one with both VSC and TC.
