Remember in a 4 Engine jet you've only lost 25% power on one side and not 50%.
That's why the 777 has such a big rudder
However you still need to have a slight wing down in the 777 ( maybe 3 deg ), it is very hard, if not impossible with full thrust to keep the wings level ( yes the yoke is zero and the spoilers are down ) while climbing out in the second segment. Once it's clean around 220 kts there is no problem keeping everything straight.
In the 744 with 2 engines out it was the same I think.
