The other player, at least for me because I don't get to play with multi-engined aircraft very often, is that I'd plan it on the basis of a consistent series of viable glide diversions which are, at the very least, survivable

I am not sure whether having two engines will necessarily help. As you will know the ceiling on many light twins on one engine is below the Alpine mountain tops. So one could have a more controlled descent into a valley but not be able to climb out again if there was no place to land within.
