This valve getting stuck could explain the brake failure for Max in Melbourne, overheating only the right side brake disc
No. The idea of a valve is just completely wrong. This would need an adjustable pressure regulator and bleeding system which is very obvious and blatant cheating as by the rules since years. You are on the wrong track with this, sorry.
Brake pad force left to right NEEDS to be the same by the rules since many years.
The new rule clarification only goes into ERS and engine braking. It simply has nothing to do with hydraulics.

If you can achieve uneven braking through the ERS-system without being caught, why would you go through the trouble of trying to achieve the same thing with the traditional brake system?
I am surprised, but most posters here on this brake topic do not even know about the brake-by-wire system or how it works.
Funny thing with the new rule: In principle a differential always gives asymmetric engine braking depending on the steering angle...so I have a feeling they really had issues with even finding that wording.
The most clear indication for me is the downshift issues. It was always ridiculous, slapstick how RedBull was struggling with shifting gears while the AT/RB was somehow able to operate the same engine and gearbox. In hindsight that nicely fits the tracks where they were struggling with braking or getting the car round a corner. So for me this is the smoking gun...

I always thought highly of Scarbs, but I reckon GaryGiesel is right and Scarbs really misses some basic fluid mechanics in his design.
Yep. The idea of the valve is technically nonsense and nonsense by the rules as it is clearly against the rule about the brake pad force and the "mass damper rule" that forbids any inertia driven system.

... i said the brake system already have valve reducing brake pressure to the rear when the ERS is harvesting, ...
There is no valve. It is always brake master cylinder to caliper, nothing else. An F1 car has three master cylinders, one front to calipers, one rear to BBW and one in the BBW system to calipers.
