Those guidelines are actually reasonable.

Leaf limits regen to 30kW rate without brake pedal. With pedal it is limited to 50kW. But that also turns on brake lights.

I'll try to measure G-forces with phone while decelerating at 30kW and vehicle absolutely empty (only driver).
Not sure my phone will have good reading. So limits are around 0.07G and 0,13G.
 
I would say Leaf B mode is weak. Like others have suggested, B mode is similar to slowing down in a higher gear on a Stick Shift car. If B - mode switches on the lights, I would say Brake lights will be on most of the time, and will be more confusing.
