Yes, the firewall surface is dimpled to keep it flat.

I have the Matco handbrake. It works great. It's windy where I live and I use it a lot. Highly recommended.

I think most pilots would see the benefit of having a parking brake but it's another little project in itself and I suspect many builders just don't want to spend the money or the time on the installation.
