The most difficult thing to train for is the judgement required to decide whether the manouevre is viable or not... this is best achieved with scenario-based exercises as you suggest.
In many ways, a partial power situation can be more deadly than a full engine-out - the reason being that a short period of Startle is replaced first by Disbelief followed up by Uncertainty often all the way into the crash. That's one reason many instructors (mine anyways years ago), and many training aircraft POH by the way, teach students to pull the power and glide it in just as soon as you reasonably can.
Yes, there certainly is merit in training for it.
