If the system too easily locks up the rear tires, for instance on wet pavement, then the ABS will pulse all the brakes and your stoping distance will suffer. You’ll loose the braking power and traction of the front wheels if you lock up the rear wheels.
At least that’s my understanding of these ABS systems. They don’t appear to deal with individual wheels or axles like newer systems.

I have a very similar setup with these same calipers. I have driven with this setup in 2 winters and the ABS works fine in snow and ice. Where I live we get everything from ice storms to regular snow.
I have also tested it doing emergency stops on dry pavement and it functions just like the drums and the ABS pulse still happen.
If your ABS works now this setup should continue to work.
