Yes we could make this an effect, but I actually wouldn't sacrifice one or even two effect slots for this feature.

IMO it would be better to have those functions available
1) as separate effects: a) brake/softStart b) spinBack
2) as optional GUI buttons with parameters set in Prefs:
  a) brake/softStart* b) spinBack
3) for controllers so that users can map it individually

*can share one effect/button as only one or the other can be active

Can users override this default behaviour without having to mess with components itself? IMO that should be possible as components more complex that a midi mapping, and it affects all mappings that rely on components.
