Not to mention that the rear brake comes into play as applying the rear brake will transfer weight to the front allowing you to apply your front brakes harder.
Not in my experience (20yrs). If it's all-in-or-we're dead, you either do a stoppie and hope, or do a deliberate lowside and also hope someone will patch you up once they dislodge your parts from wherever you end up in.
In either case it's front brake. A bit of tilt for the second case. The rear brake is not needed at all.
If it's just a overspeed corner, you try to slow down gently, while maintaining both wheels on the trajectory. So just a little play with throttle and just a little front brake so that the bike stays balanced so to say. No rear brake at all because dropping the throttle a bit is all that's needed for the rear wheel.
If that is not enough, you're not going to make that corner, you have had too much speed coming in, and you will pay for that right now by crashing into something.
I learned this in 1990s when I first started riding.

Those are the basics.
