No matter how good a simulator is, it remains a training device.
And the instructor tells you what he expects you to do.
If he wants an emergency descent wings level... do as he tells you.

Like you, I would bank (say 45º) to reduce negative Gs... in real life.
And get off the airway.
Planes are close to be exactly on top of each other.
Thanks to our modern navigation systems, INS coupled to GPS...
That is what I observed these last years on oceanic routes.
In the old days, they would be close to a mile to the left or right.

RTO - do exactly as the SOPs or instructor says.
In real life, there might be other considerations for RTO.
You could have to combine SOPs and common sense.
Do not give yourself a headache in simulators. It is training environment.
