Brakes are being added to actuators but they're more useful for static holds / locking than dynamic balancing. Standing even in humans is a dynamic balancing activity.

It is, but you don't have to do it at every joint all the time. If you lock your knees your front and back thigh muscles don't have to work on balancing in that axis at all.
