It is possible that some functions of the stability control or traction control use individual brakes to manipulate the attitude of the car to either initiate or eliminate a slide. This is common in some sports cars that have a sport or drift setting in the stability control.
I’m not aware of any cars using brakes for lane keeping duty.
From a risk of something going wrong point of view (electric gremlins) - what can cause the most damage - steering or rear brakes? IMO rear brakes a lot safer way to do it.
