The one versus 2 engines to me is a non issue, the reliability of jet fighter engines is through the charts. It also makes engine maintenance replacement easier and cheaper.
The typhoon is a very nice jet, but the F-35's command of airspace through data linking and through the glass cockpit and with the Stealth Capability means that the F-35 is designed to sneak up on an enemy and punch it in the starfish before they're aware of it.
At least that's the theory.
