Maybe we should ask the United 777 crew who had a shutdown just past the PNR in the middle of the Pacific and then flew on one engine for over 3 hours in the middle of the night on their thoughts!
Personally for the transpacific/antarctic routes 4 engines is probably safer. 3 hour EDTO is probably pushing the limits.
