I've only driven vehicles with SH-AWD and xDrive and they both sound closer to the Torsen than Haldex. The xDrive in particular I can definitely feel the back kick out more when the TCS turns off when I'm on Sport+ mode.

It depends a lot on the age of the car. The early systems were absolutely what you described, but they've done a bunch of stuff to make them a bit more dynamic feeling. The limitation of the torque split will always be a bit of a buzz kill compared to those other systems though.
