I find the braking on all of the nexus 7 hubs I have lacking compared to the 3 or 4 speed versions. The roller brake hub is probably a little better but the lever feels quite spongy. I use a long 80’s mtb lever to give more leverage.
On my 39 Roadmaster fitted with a nexus 7, I found it too fast for the weak coaster and fitted a 100mm Sturmey Archer drum hub up front.
