747 - Outboard engine failure- why no bank?

I'm curious how the heavy drivers actually do this.

I have a sim briefing document in front of me that says "Control wheel level, rudder as required" for an outboard engine failure.

Why no roll inputs/bank angle for optimized climb performance?

Is the point of keeping a neutral control column just to ensure the spoilers stay retracted? Even during a V2 climb?

In the medium turboprops I fly, we would also keep the wings level (except for the initial climb) during an engine failure. But I always thought there was a bit of aileron input along with the rudder input to maintain this.

Thanks,
fpt
