No, we never got a braking report from the tower.
Neither did I at the old Taipeh airport, long ago, with a B707.
Grease/oil etc at the far end (from mostly C119 piston aircraft, I later learned) in addition to dynamic hydroplanning..prevented reasonable braking action.
A close call...yes, however, MAX reverse held to the very end, saved the day.
