I can't say I agree at all that any of the above will climb "happily" away. The C 421 has a published single engine rate of climb of 305 feet/min. That means if you lose the engine right after takeoff you are going to need at least
7 miles to climb to a thousand feet AGL circuit altitude, and that is the best case scenario.
A low altitude engine failure in
any piston twin is a desperate emergency.
