No, what PP proposes is quite feasible. This is an example of energy from braking where the power does not need to be stored even momentarily, but is tapped directly as required. As the wheels spin up within the first second of ground contact, enough power to work the brakes in smart antiskid mode becomes available. They'd need to be mechanically locked on before the ground speed drops to a really low value.

(Not a pilot, but have some knowledge of engineering physics.)
