I'd have no concern getting on one once they're approved and the pilots have done their training.
If an engine cuts out, there's three more. And fuel reserves, which likely have a fairly separate drive train (or whatever it's called in this context). And if all four engines cut out, as long as we're not on the initial climb, I'm still not that concerned.
