My thought is that the ABS gets it's input from the axle shaft rotation and makes adjustments from there. Rear disc brakes don't change how the ABS system gets its input from the rear axle shaft. In my mind, the system will function as designed.
On my 4Runner, I deleted the ABS system and I do run a manual proportioning valve. But I don't think a proportioning valve is a required item for a kit designed to work with ABS.

I ripped out the whole ABS actuator too...
On a rig that still has ABS, the ABS computer will still receive the correct signals to detect wheel slip, but now ABS will be kicking in far, far more often for the rear brakes.
Further, the actual brake/ABS pulses will still be of the same strength (ABS system would assume drum brake power) and cause a longer duration of ABS activation. I still think a proportioning valve would benefit by reducing power sent to the now rear disk brakes.
