Controllability? There's no need to remove your hand from the throttles at that time. HOTAS is still a concept applicable to today's flying.
Generally agree, however, some machines can be a "handful", esp on one engine, that may require a few seconds of "two hands". Better then, IMO, to hit TOGA, feel the throttles advancing than push 'em up and hope TOGA engages while temporarily hands off.
