strikes me that holding blades on with paint is questionable anyway

As Pablo332 says
"Back to the plot. Shaft has failed big time, don’t know what I’m talking about but I’d say this incident is head related. Smoking gun prob ably No 1 sleeve failure due to corrosion/not thick enough in the first place or No 2 damper failure."

Would they really save metal and design margins in such critical areas?
This is a flawed aspect of the twin engined concept.
All that payload spent carrying a spare engine and its associated inefficiencies around when it could be spent on something important.
