The fuel quantity that triggers the procedures is not a "minimum fuel quantity" below which you're not supposed to operate, even though you might need to land ASAP.
Are you sure about that?
from the QRH (Boeing 787)
a couple of pertinent notes to help your decision making process
Note: Avoid high nose up attitude. Make thrust changes slowly and smoothly. This reduces the possibility of uncovering fuel pumps
Note: Use flaps 20 and VREF 20 for landing. Increased airspeed at flaps 20 gives improved elevator control for landing flare in the event of a dual engine flameout. Check the Non-Normal Configuration Landing Distance tables in the Performance Inflight-QRH chapter or other approved source.
