Remember, the harder you brake, the less the rear brakes have to do since the weight bias is all to the front.
Check out GP race bikes as they enter many corners: rear wheels off the ground.
As far as I can tell, rear drums on front wheel drive cars work OK. They shoes sure last longer than the pads up front. I'd be inclined to beef up the front end first.
If you want to check how little the rear brakes actually do, try stopping with the emergency/parking brake.
Cheers.
