One caveat which often is overlooked.

During the landing flare, there may be significant asymmetric drag as the throttles are moved to the idle position with one feathered - the situation would be worse were we to be looking at a dual failure on the same side. The drag on the side with the operating engine(s) can provide a surprise if the endorsement training didn't consider the matter.

With the idle thrust operation, all move to the nominally same condition during the flare.
