LFB can potentially knacker your drive system as people who aren't trained can press the accel & brake at the same time, putting unneccesary strain on mechanical parts. The reaction time increase is marginal, as conditions or looking ahead would affect braking distance and reaction time to a far greater extent than 0.2 of a second. Most people don't drive like a race or rally on the road, so although its useful for lazy people, I would never use it as it is impractical and (personnally) strange and uncomfortable.

It can be useful as long as you never press both pedals at once. Thats the only real downside to it.
