Individual toebrakes work fine in Luftwaffe aircraft (while the previous system doesn't, you can't turn by one brake command plus rudder input) because they did have individual wheel brakes.
In other words, if the aircraft in the sim doesn't have it there's a good chance it's because the real one didn't either. This extends to other stuff like the lack of lockable tailwheels and so on. Lots of people get confused (especially if they have previous IL2:1946 experience and expect things to work the same way) and think it's bugs but upon closer inspection many such cases are actually just copying the real aircraft systems.

yeah i was really confused the first fiew days, trying to lock my tailwheel before the start with my emil.i think it was you who told me that in reality emils didnt have lockable tailwheels.
i really like such realism,on the other hand i didnt like that the devs changed the former realistic compasses and i think also the behaviour of raf fighters when pulling negative g's.
+1 for realism,...its a sim, isnt it.
