I was going to say something about that in one of my earlier posts but they got a bit long. The short answer is yes. However the 'upwards' component of the thrust vector contributes to the increase in pitch rate without increasing wing loading (lift is constant if speed and alpha are maintained) so the increase in load factor only applies to other parts of the airframe. So such a system would only be useful if structural limits were based on the wings or their attachment points.
