And the most interesting part is that almost 80% of brake wear is during the so-called cold taxi when taxiing for takeoff.

That being the case, to minimise carbon brake wear, isn't that a case for use of reverse idle while taxiing out in order to prevent excessive speed build up that would normally require brake application to keep the speed within safe limits? After all, the Boeing 737 FCTM does state that after landing "The thrust levers should be positioned to reverse idle by taxi speed" implying there is no problem with ingestion at reverse idle when taxiing.
