put more weight on the tires maybe to help sustain the drift??

It makes no sense. Downforce is used to gain grip, why use it at all in drifting?

Because grip is very important in drifting (otherwise tire manufacturers wouldnt be a part of it)

more grip = more speed + better recoverable angle = better drift score/better tandum car.

But grip gained from downforce is an entirely different thing to grip from tyres .

The mechanical grip is needed to control the car yes, but downforce is really only needed for high speed circuit racing.

....or high speed entries in a drift car....
