Deep stall isn't really a matter which involves the engine configuration, it's more to do with weather or not the aircraft has a T-Tail. At certain angles of attack the wing will block the airflow over the tail stabilizer and cause it to stall, this creates a heavy pitch down moment...
Deep stall will happen weather you have the engines mounted on the wings or the fuselage...
