Engine braking with ICE is practical, but is pretty much pointless to compare with regenerative braking capabilities of an electric motor.
Not only does regenerative braking recharge the battery, it is possible to apply entirely arbitrary reverse torque should need be, where an ICE has a pretty fixed resistance.
