That is largely mitigated by the MUCH more reliable turboprop in the M600. They have problems much less frequently than piston engines. Not to say they don't happen, or that it isn't important that pilots train for engine out scenarios, it's crucial for pilot safety and an integral part of Aeronautical Decision Making, but this technology on a turboprop platform has the potential to dramatically reduce the likelihood of a fatal accident.
