I mean, you say that...but BMW has 50/50 weight distribution and runs a traditional stagger...in part to induce some understeer to keep the lawyers happy.

I say, bravo them for taking another step to minimize understeer.

No different than a 911 using larger rear tires to compensate for all the ass weight.
