I try to stick with threshold braking. If ABS kicks in, I go ahead and use it for that braking event, vs resetting, and try to threshold the next time around

^^^^ This is my thought process as well. The one other downside of letting ABS pulse the pads against the rotor is uneven smearing of pad material on the rotor that can lead to brake judder. Brake judder is annoying, makes it difficult to be smooth under braking and trailing off and it takes a few clean laps to clear out.
