On my trike, your not missing anything by not being able to use the brake.
I consider foot throttle+foot steering to be all the trike carriage dual controls needed.

Richard,
99.9% of the time, you are absolutely correct. That's what I have, and I get by. But there are many times I would be a bit less tense if I could reach the ignition switches from where I sit, but I can't. I wish I had some brakes, but I don't. It's not the mag check that concerns me, it's the ability to stop suddenly even at idle and kill the engine when a child or a dog runs out to greet us and they don't know to stop. Or when a student making a right turn suddenly applies power because he forgets his foot needs to bend back. I teach students to put their hand on the ignition when in close proximity of other things or people, but I am still depending on them to react. Sometimes their ability to react seems to slow to a crawl and at the worst possible moments.
