I'm guessing here, as I've never built a sail-propelled interstellar probe :) But I'm assuming that:

1) The characteristics of a good laser-propelled acceleration sail would be different to those of a good solar-powered braking sail.

2) Flipping around while attached to a deployed solar sail would be hard. In my head I'm imagining something like looping a paraglider (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oEeTtQIEjs) but much harder. It'd have to be autonomous (no fly-by-wire at those ranges), and for recovery purposes I'd want to have a spare sail anyway that it could deploy in the case the primary got tangled.
