That's the issue... power loss... what constitutes power loss. Do you shut down at the slightest splutter? DA, who knows, that's at sea level 1013. Too many variables even on a simple light aircraft let alone something big to be safe.
Add a massive margin and of course you'll get back, but at that point it's hardly a turn-back on takeoff.
