Nobody's mentioned the problem if one wheel has a rubbing point, which would be hardly noticeable with brakes O.K., but makes a brake steered taildragger uncontrollable following brake failure. And the fire possibility with the friction + leaked brake fluid. On a Jodel DR1050 a seized slave brake cylinder can lead to rudder restriction on that side.
