Problem with such a plane might be that nobody would buy it.

Do any twins exist that cannot climb on one engine at all? I'd
be surprised, except perhaps for some unusual special-purpose
planes.

My thought is that, when the designer of the aircraft reduces
its performance until it can no longer climb on one engine, the
utility value of the plane suddenly drops sharply at that point.
So, if I were designing such planes, I'd hate to do that.
