Engine shutdown ? - Not a big deal.
What might be of more relevance is the implication for the engine manufacturer regarding EDTO/ETOPS or other liability if the fault is more related to a fleet wide problem.

OOh that engine sounds a bit dodgy, best to shut it down and i'll get some of that hero pay action.
Perhaps I've been in this part of the world too long.

A combustion chamber boroscope viewing plug blew out and the ensuing flame blow torched a plate sized hole through the nacelle ..... 3 inches away from the main Hi Press fuel line...... doesn't bear thinking of that outcome.
