No form of racing that I know of allows in-board brakes:

Why? With gear reduction in the hubs you might be able to downsize the brakes. Parking brakes on driveshafts can be tiny (—I hear, about cars that
have driveshafts).
Here's an example that has a Hayabusa motor chain driven to the differential and inboard disks
Bonneville? Class rules in racing often outlaw things, like powered/active aerodynamics, to keep other cars competitive.
What were the salient points from your research? Looking at the history of racing parts for the air-cooled Beetle, there were basically two types of inboard brakes; one that mounted to the transaxle and one that mounted to the frame horns. So there probably were conclusions drawn, but don't look at me.
