Without knowing the specific performance data for your aircraft, I would think that a 5.5% gradient with All Engines Operating would not be a problem.

An engine failure with the Gear Down and obstacle limited would be a disaster!

The odds are in your favour, on 99.999% of Takeoffs, engines do not fail!
