A350 ENG FAIL

After ENG FAIL on A320 and A330, when going through ECAM procedures, secondary failures, at ELEC , generally the APU is started.
A350 has 2 generators per engine so you have 2 generators remaining. What do most airlines recommend? Start APU or not. Airbus is silent on the matter and we have instructors who argue that 2 generators is just fine and others that argue for starting APU given that aircraft is designed to have 4 functioning generators, why not recover at least one? Thoughts?
Thank you.
