It was more for passenger comfort and maintaining standards which lead to the fail, hence the unsatisfactory performance. Neither passengers or our cabin crew complaint about the uncomfort-ness of the firm braking, but it was not up to satisfactory levels by the checking examiner.
"the examiner decided to fail me due to unsatisfactory workload management"

I think you are not understanding the advice given here, basically suck it up, accept you made an error, and make it clear that you wish to learn from this experience. The airlines will always back their examiners, it's up to you to stop dwelling and finding excuses, and move on from it.
We have all had our bad days, what's important is that we don't let it drag us down. The airlines want to see that you want to learn and improve your competencies from this, and it comes from you and only you.

Remember checks and Sims are all "smoke and mirrors".
Regarding your worry about exiting the runway in time etc., this is of secondary importance for you, your safe operation of the aircraft is the priority, if aircraft behind you have to go around so be it, that is not really your problem. It is unfortunate, but it is not end of the world, you misjudging the exit, losing control and skidding of the taxi way is much bigger issue.

It is all about work load management and safely operating your aircraft. Sometimes you might be late of the runway, and aircraft has to go around behind you, so what?
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, prepare yourself for whatever comes next, and be positive and accept you have had a learning experience in aviation.
