Default Single Axis Gyro for twins ?

Opinions please :
What about using a simple single axis gyro, like the Igyro 1E for example, in a twin project. The idea being that the gyro would sense an engine out situation before the pilot does, and apply immediate rudder to counter the yaw, and giving the pilot a fighting chance of sitting her down safely.
I have seen many twins lost because the aircraft was too far out to visually see the engine out, and enters a spin before the pilot even knows what happened.
Thanks in advance for your input-
