I suspect you're right. Lots of folks use an electronic exhaust brake without a torque converter controller. When comin' down the mountain, if you can resist touching the brakes (which unlocks the torque converter with most tunes) and keep the RPM up over 2,000, then the closed EBPV does a decent job of retarding. But touch the brakes and the retarding action almost disappears when the torque converter unlocks and begins slipping.
