Not sure why your interest but I'll add as an IMHO that I wouldn't "overthink" the 777 TAC....from this non trainer end users POV my bullet points on it are:
1. It doesn't always work (see FCOM).
2. It doesn't kick in fully and instantaneously, so you still need to think/use your feet...and not just on a potential E/O takeoff but also on a potential E/O go-around.. (see FCTM/FCOM).
3. Until you are used to TAC it can feel a bit strange when it does then catch up with what your feet have done/are doing (e.g. Rudder pedal forces changing as it runs).
Having converted from a long time on a "traditional" type to the 777 I must admit I found point 3 darned disconcerting until I got my head round it.
Rest of what it does to me at least seems pretty much invisible.
I know about this overthinking thing, but I want to know as much as possible what the aircraft is doing, especially when it's so close to the ground. The last thing I want to experience is, TAC doesn't cut down on the rudder as operating eng is idling and the aircraft yaw to the live engine (barring any wind)... but like u say, got to to experience it in real time and then react accordingly.
I know of the go around part as I experienced it in the sim with the TAC off, the aircraft reacted like a prop and yaw to the live side..
Yeah, i'm still tying to get used to the TAC too especially on takeoff in single engine ops, I have to slowly take my foot off the rudder and let TAC take over progressively.
