Yes most of the breaking power goes through the front wheel, but you don’t brake that much in sand anyway. You will probably not need to drop the pressure lower then to 1.5 bar. If you doubt that it will work then drop the pressure and try it for some weeks before you leave.
Personally I seldom drop the pressure anymore and ride with 2.5 bar all the time. On your way north you will probably find that corrugation is worse then sand so going to Sesheke is a nice way to test your setup :-)). If you drive fast you will have a lot of braking.
