I can attest that it is quite a jolt hitting something with the blade pushing backwards but I still do it because sometimes it just works better. Sometimes it is better to go forward using the blade at an angle. Where you are at in Eastern KS you should not have a traction problem. I only have one when the snow gets to deep and I have turf tires on the rear.
We have some 6-12" snows at times. Generally 3-6". I have the R4 tires.
I envision running fwd -- blade at an angle -- drive atop the snow before I push it off with the blade. I have this idea that if that all works, I can clear he driveway in an hour.
