I think I understand your concern...

In my experience it's sometimes difficult to concentrate on both selecting max reverse AND effectively applying max manual braking at the same time.

As a result, might a selection of medium autobrakes be better, which as you know will start as soon as wheelspin is detected (as it does with all brake selections), whilst your efforts to get maximum reverse are in train.
When max reverse is successfully in place, then you might divert your attention to overriding the autobrakes (or manually reselecting to MAX), manually to get the desired effect.
Remember with auto brakes, the target decel is augmented by the reverse thrust effect, which is not the case with manual braking!

I suggest not even considering the eventual effects of the wheel fuse plugs, that's something for much later, after you've stopped and taxied off the active!

Cheers...FD...
