It's a hydraulic system; a loosely adjusted wheel just means you have to displace more fluid before the shoes all make contact and you start building pressure.

My trucks with good shoes and drums stop well and don't pull to one side.

I'm actually planning to do some 60-0 tests one of these days...

In 98% of normal driving, yes. In a panic stop situation, especially from higher speeds, you better hope your self-adjusters are working well.
