Have you EVER driven anything with un-assisted disc brakes. They only work slightly better than dragging your feet. It has the big diameter master cylinder so, you know that pedal effort will be off the charts.
I worked for 3 different Chevy dealers in the early '70s, and have driven many vehicles with manual disc brakes. GM's engineers wouldn't have deemed them unsafe. YMMV.
