Total brake failure hardly occurs and is not a major factor in landing overruns (as expected from the certification assumptions in 25.1309).
There are several examples of overruns of small aircraft on very long runways in which the aircraft touched at the right spot, had functional brakes, and still could not be stopped on the runway. Main causes are often late and ineffective use of brakes on a slippery runway.
