I'm thinking the adverse yaw would only work with downwind ailerons.



Averse yaw is caused by the drag of the down-deflected aileron.
Assuming you have the correct aileron position for the crosswind, the
drag of the down-deflected aileron will help counter weather-vane.

In the B-17 if you used the wrong aileron you would not have enough
rudder to counter it...the ailerons on that airplane produce a lot of
drag.
