The Kalitta accident was a good way to illustrate your point that the heavy quad can’t stand a second engine failure. Those weren’t independent failures, though. The first failure caused the pilot to increase the power above limits on the remaining tired engines as you said, causing the second failure. Strictly speaking that’s a cascading effect of the first failure. I recognize that wasn’t your main point in mentioning that accident.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any instance of two or more truly independent engine failures on the same flight in the last 40 years. I could be wrong though.
