It’s very rare for the ETP to be exactly 180mins from both airfields. Over the North Atlantic there’s always lots of overlap so you will always have extra fuel even at the ETP. Only the route to the Caribbean have I ever seen extra fuel loaded in order to meet ETOPS requirements. You also have 15mins holding on arrival at the diversion. So you won’t run out of fuel!
