Not on Airbus, (I don't fly the 787). Airbus FBW puts in some rudder, but not all, so the pilot flying is in no doubt which engine has failed, because they will still need to apply rudder to stay straight, which in turn provides "dead-leg = dead-engine"
.......Would a pilot Cut two engines at once, without CRM and a pause to make damn sure the correct engine is being cut ?....
No they wouldn't....
except on final engine shut-down after parking on the stand. Then it is: cut....cut, with no cross confirmation between the pilots.
Perhaps it is now time to change this so that cross confirmation is always required, even in a non jeopardy situation, just to ensure that the wrong "muscle memory" never gets used during flight ?
