Some considerations ..

(a) the discussion is getting very much into weeds level

(b) the concern is a very dynamic aircraft motion environment which is trained for in the sim in a fairly narrow sort of way

(c) the more options which are available, the more training is appropriate and the more opportunity there is for the crew to get it wrong on the (rare) day when training is put to the test

(d) given that historicals suggest that continuing the takeoff post V1 has a better chance of favourable outcome, why load the dice against yourself ?

(e) physically, of course the takeoff/land scenario can work on a runway whose length is very much more than required for a particular aircraft .. but do you really want to trade a trained-for recovery for an ad hoc finger-in-the-wind-on-the-day procedure ?
