I don't see any legal issues with this, as long as you retain your hydraulic brakes at all four wheels and a mechanically operated emergency brake? Also, what kind of regen setup do you have, and how many g's of braking does it produce. If it's small/weak like most regen setups are, like the one in my Honda is, then your brake management system becomes simple, depress the pedal just enough to light up the brake lights and the regen kicks in at full strength which is never really too powerful... then you just press harder if you want the hydraulic brakes to kick in... Simple!
