Oh yes!

I never flew the DC10 - but the L1011 has a similar thrust line on the tail engine (above the c of g). When flying with No 2 engine shut down on the -500 variant (shorter fuselage and hence smaller tail moment), the GA EPR on 1 & 3 had to be limited to a pre-calculated value - else the crew could end up with a high pitch attitude & falling airspeed with full forward control column - when full GA power was set.
Think that answers it, well and truly!!
