With a FWD car you definitely can bias the weight on the drive wheels and have no abnormal handling effects. All this 50/50 is great if you running a road course, but around town you stop, go, and turn 90 degree corners. Anything running on the edge of handling is driving like a fool. That said, this is what makes a Subaru so popular up north. You can drive like a fool and it's very forgiving and at least you aren't carrying 3 tons of weight around when you slam into the side of that other family's car.
So does the ID4 have rear weight bias?

Have you driven a modern RWD car with dialed-in traction/stability control in the snow to the limit?
The main factors for snow performance in order are tires, AWD, and clearance. A neutrally balanced car will perform well as RWD.
