Quote from Green-dot:
Would it, even today, be routinely in the back of the minds of pilots as one of the anticipated possibilities of this occurring during the take-off phase? Is such a scenario trained for on a regular interval?

Having retired over 6 years ago, admittedly from a type with fan-reversers, I'd answer: "probably not, unless there was a history of it on the type"; and "no, not as far as I can recall during my jet career (VC10, B707, BAC1-11, A310, DC10 and A320)." But none of these aircraft had bucket reversers.
