Delay is probably worse - now you're further disassociating the effect of the action from the action itself, breaking the usual rule: if you change something, and don't like the effect, change it back.

This makes me wonder. Is there no audible alarm when the fuel is set to cutoff?
Shutting off both engines would display "ENG SHUTDOWN" in yellow text (caution) on the EICAS. If only one engine was shut down, it would say "ENG SHUTDOWN L" or "ENG SHUTDOWN R".
Any of these would trigger an unmistakable audible "BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP" to draw your attention to the screen so that you could see what the caution was. These messages are right next to the engine N1 indications anyway, so it would be immediately obvious that one or more of the engines was spooling down.
