It definitely is a matter of "mastering" it, or "getting experienced". You can learn to adjust an adapt to steering mode, hell you can even learn to catch drifts if you practice enough. It is not an easy mode, nor is it realistic, but its not impossible. I have been using it exclusively for the Motorsport franchise.
I remember it being a lot harder in FM5.
It's not exaggerated in Forza on a pad(cant speak for a wheel.) The issue on pad is that you have very little degree of ration from lock to lock, which causing hyper sensitive countersteering situations. You're flowing over a whole lock range in a millisecond, causing it to throw you into a tank slapper. It will never be able to be progressive and realistic on pad, in my opinion. That's where normal steering comes in with its dampening.
