Browsing Google Patents, I stumbled across some interesting Boeing patent applications e.g. this one 6 years ago: PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY PITCH AND POWER-BASED UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED SYMBOLOGY. (Download full PDF here in order to view Figs a little better ...).

In this one I was struck by their "Background" para [0013] which reads:
QUOTE
The displayed symbology is not static and updates as the airplane weight, altitude, flap setting and thrust change. As a result, critical information is communicated in a format that is intuitive and in a form that the pilot needs, and is expediently usable by the pilot to maintain safe, stable flight conditions as a result of air data failures throughout the duration of the flight. This symbology is independent of the angle of attack (AOA) or the air data system.

Is any of what's described yet designed into any production PFD?
