I try not to do this in my Boxster, but I have the same habit from driving older cars. I have a 1966 Triumph Spitfire with antique brakes and this downshift method is almost necessary to slow down quickly and not lose grip. The car is so light that brakes alone can lock up and the car will start to drift. Anyone that has had to stand on old drum brakes on a 914 has learned to use both at once.
