V1 is not the whole story. You also need to reach Vr before running out of runway.
If the weight is more than calculated, Vr is higher and acceleration is slower. The computer may sense the slower acceleration, and ask for more thrust, but it should also account for a higher Vr i.e ask for even more thrust.
Might be possible to do in real time but I'm not convinced yet.
