As a current simulator instructor on the 737, I frequently meet airline pilots who have never heard of this recovery technique despite it being published in the Boeing 737 FCTM.
I also consider that many 'new generation pilots' have forgotten there is a rudder, even when all engines are turning. Classic recovery years ago F70/100 'wing-icing on takeoff, a/c rolled, PF froze, PM stamped on rudder. They still live, I trust, to tell the tale. There is so much more to remember/learn after flight school than ticking boxes in the sim.
I, myself, still survive because my rudder did what my aileron did not on a single engine a/c.
