Generally idle reverse isn't used for braking during taxi. Reverse is most effective at high speed. FOR ingestion is also a problem. Different airplanes,airlines and manufacturers have different restrictions, but generally using reverse during taxi is either not recommended or prohibited except for emergencies when brakes are inoperable or the surface is so slippery brakes are ineffective.
