As soon as i read that i was visualising you pulling up to some traffic lights but instead of stopping you end up doing a big handbrake drift right through the intersection.

Adding the hydraulic pressure sensor to the brake line shouldn't give mushy brakes. Actually they should seem more responsive as the braking (regen) would engage at a higher pedal than normal. Also the brakes wouldn't suffer from brake fade like disk brakes do as they heat up.
