Sounds like we are mostly in agreement.

I will mention that a vehicle does not need to be traveling in a straight line to be coasting. so two wheels can be coasting in a turn and well below their limit of adhesion whilst the driven wheels are applying acceleration.

all other things being equal, a rear wheel drive vehicle will out corner a front drive vehicle because the front driver needs to turn and apply power to maintain speed simultaneously.
