I think the only problem with the friction brakes is that the rust won't get scraped off the brake pads because they are underused.
There's a good comment on DIY replacement here. :- EPB tool for rear brake pad replacement
Our cars do not have adaptive cruise control. My comment about the harsh regen refers to the style of driving where you suddenly slow down because the car in front is going slower.
When I drive manually I tend to match speed well beforehand. With cruise control on I come out of cruise much later and manually slow down more harshly. Perhaps this problem is because I assume cruise control is smarter than it actually is.
