Does the 777/787 have load factor protection like the Airbus? At least you can pull to the limit with out risking structural integrity (if the aircraft (Bus) is in Normal Law). The 767 would obviously require a more nuanced approach to handling.

The Airbus will limit you to two G’s in the situation you describe. The airframe is required to take nearly double that load at max certified weight. 2.5 G’s is the requirement with no damage and 3.75 before structural failure. At landing weights those limits would be even higher.
