One-pedal driving does minimize the use of the brakes by using the motor to decelerate.

Regenerative braking, I think you mean?

It's definitely preferable to grinding brakes to slow the vehicle both because of the reduced wear/pollution and extended range gained from the small bit of charging that occurs.
