It would be nice to be able to increase the reaction times. I don't see how it could be done unless you come up with some warning system that says - your engine is not healthy and is about to fail. Vibration sensors? Maybe. Carb icing happening? Bad ju-ju sensor? Hmmm.
Something should be possible - perhaps a rate of decay of engine RPM vs. collective position or throttle position or something. Someone somewhere has some engineering data on what the pre-cursors to engine failure in piston engines are - perhaps they can help.
