411A .. I hope you never have to do a 'go around' off a baulked approach and then lose one. Those vital seconds will kill you, especially in a Baron.
If you mishandle the engine it is possible to de-tune a counterweight.
You can't throw a counter weight, as the engine is certified to perform through out it design parameters, which includes simulating engine failure at anything from idle power thru to take off power.

I operate a Baron 58 and we show no mercy to the engines and routinely use the aircraft for proficiency training and initial twin conversions. We have never had a problem in engine handling, aircraft TT has over 13,000 hrs and all the engines made it to overhaul.
