I had it done on my 2017MY V60 diesel hybrid, but don't think it did anything to the AWD.
However, that maybe because the RWD is from the battery ISG rather than a Haldex?

On saying that, I can definitely get the back end to swing out if you floor the accelerator with a bit of steering lock in Power mode, and all 470 lb/ft is deployed at once. Safe but unexpected !
