As soon as I let off the button, I'd like forward (maybe require the throttle to be 0 first) How does that sound?

I was not thinking that you would release the throttle before beginning regen braking, but you can do that if you like.
What I was describing does have side effects - if the Reverse button wiring were to short out during a race, worst case you would be going full throttle and switch to full regen braking. Enforcing the release of the throttle between throttle and regen braking would make a shorted Reverse button less of a problem ... but it would still be a problem the next time you went to accelerate!
Do you have a preference on the Reverse button connection? I'd prefer an analog input, and a couple of resistors wired into the button to verify that the button is still connected (4.5V) and not open circuit/disconnected (5V), pressed (0.5V) instead of shorted out wiring (0V).
