Below 80-85 kts, depending upon manufacturer, the auto brakes don't work.
If you lose an engine at low speed, or one engine is slow accelerating, the rudder pedal isn't the way to prevent going off the runway. Idle power to stop the asymmetrical thrust is the answer. LHR 27R has two long skid marks left by departing a/c that had asymmetrical thrust. The nose wheel tires, depending upon speed, asymmetrical thrust level, runway friction, can't handle the side load.
Feet up for 34 years after flying the SDS3-30 in crosswind landings, but thrust reduction is the primary method to control a thrust asymmetry event on takeoff.
