hello,
I take it that you consider spoilers' drag as systematically being greater than rudders' no matter the deflection magnitude of said rudders you may need to center the column ?
Never had a flame out in real life, but surely my type's sim (ATR) wouldn't let you control it with the sole rudder's help, at least in the recovery phase.
The 5 deg bank being part of Vmca certification aren't there by chance.
My understanding is that bank also takes part in easing off rudder's drag thus improving performance.
The 707 example brought up in a preceding post tells pretty much what's happening: 40 knots Vmca degradation for 5 deg bank variation towards a level wing situation.
That's why a conservative approach like the one you propose sounds a bit odd to me, no disrespect to your experience.
